Wheelchair rental in Adalar, the Princes’ Islands
Adalar is Istanbul’s island district in the Sea of Marmara. Private cars are not allowed on the islands, so visitors walk, cycle or use the small electric buses, and the streets of Büyükada and Heybeliada climb steeply from the ferry piers. For anyone who tires easily, a wheelchair or a walker makes a summer stay or a day trip much more relaxing. Our wheelchair rental in Adalar serves hotels, guesthouses and summer homes on the islands.
Getting around the islands with a wheelchair
- City ferries sail to the islands from Kabataş and Eminönü on the European side and from Bostancı on the Asian side; the main ferries have step-free boarding.
- The seafront around the Büyükada and Heybeliada piers is level, with cafés and restaurants close by.
- Inland streets are steep and often cobbled, so plan routes along the shore and use the island’s electric buses for longer distances.
Which equipment to rent for Adalar
A lightweight folding wheelchair is the most practical choice: it is easy to lift onto ferries and into electric buses. On the steep island streets a companion should always push, and attendant brakes help on the way down. For a summer house, add a walker or a shower chair to the same delivery.
Wheelchair rental Adalar: planning your delivery
Because there are no cars on the islands, deliveries to Adalar depend on the ferry timetable. Book at least a day in advance and we will agree a delivery time with you, either at your address on the island or at a mainland pier such as Bostancı or Kabataş before you sail. The delivery fee for your area is shown before you send the booking, and there is no deposit.
If you are staying in the city and visiting the islands for one day, it is often easier to rent your wheelchair for the whole stay and take it with you on the ferry. See our delivery areas in Kadıköy and Sultanahmet, close to the island ferry piers.
