Full Description
The exile places of earlier Byzantine Prince and Princess. The Princes Islands. There are in fact 9 islands but on our present days 4 of them are interesting to visit. After ll. Justin has built a palace for himself the island has been named as Prinkipo which means the Prince Island. Horse-drawn carriages add another atmosphere to the island and feel the people's life who lived in past on this island. Island weather makes people hungry and time to have lunch with the owner of the seas. A delicious fish lunch. When it is time to say goodbye for Sun we return to Istanbul and transfer to the hotel.

Worth to visit on nice wheather. Not a long way but it takes more than 1 hour. I do not suggest to visit on weekends due to it is so crowded. Poor horses. :(
We visited the Biggest Island. In terms of its dimension it is named as Big Island. I had a visit 15 years before and here was like a summery region. But now like a small Istanbul. As i checked the previously comment, even if they reflect the past, please do not take any phaeton.
I can have a house and live in this Island 12 month. There was just one scary place on the top of the island. As i learnt from our guide it was used as a Greek Orphanage. But now it is empthy. A ghost apartment.
