Why Princes' Islands?
The Princes' Islands are a quiet group of islands in the Bosphorus Sea near Istanbul, visited by tourists to escape city crowds: quiet streets, old wooden houses, seaside cafes and bicycles, and swimming in summer. They are among the most requested daily trips for families because they combine sea, outing and lunch in one day without long travel fatigue.
