Princes Islands

A historical home for exiled princes from Istanbul, the nine semi-urbanized Princes Islands in the Sea of Marmara can be reached by ferries or sea buses that dock at several piers. Ferries from Kabatas stop at three to four islands before reaching Büyükada, the largest island, which only spans about two square miles. Visitors and locals get around by foot, bicycle, or donkey since no motor vehicles, other than service vehicles, are allowed on the islands.
