王子群島評價

A beautiful island, lots of places to eat, have a cup of coffee, walk across the island, or take a carriage. It is very serene once you are few minutes away from the seaport.

The Prince's Islands are an amazing escape away from the city; a place where "time stood still" in the best possible way. Almost all of the beautiful 20th and 19th century Victorian and Art Deco houses have been preserved, and all forms of automobiles are banned on the island, creating an amazingly tranquil and serene atmosphere. Great for biking (renting one for the whole day costs just 10 TL), walking, and discovering Istanbul's historical diversity as many of Istanbul's historical Greek, Armenian, and Jewish minorities once lived here (and still continue to do so).

Discover Istanbul's calmer cousins, these nine islands which are about 1.5 hours' ferry ride from the city centre. From the moment you walk off the boat, you'll be stepping back in time and if it's summertime, an ideal escape from the stifling heat and noise of Istanbul. Cars aren't permitted, so the only way of getting around is on foot, by horse and cart or on a push bike - bike rentals are plentiful. The islands take their name from the Byzantine era, when princes lived here in exile. It was also where Leon Trotsky settled for a period, following his deportation from Russia in 1929. Don't miss the really handsome Ottoman-era mansions.

I really wish I had a chance to spend some time on the islands themselves, but even from the water they are beautiful!

王子島 - 準備至少半天參觀。這些地方可以通過船進入,它自己的旅行與島嶼一樣存在。島嶼禁止汽車,馬的氣味到處都是。這是我見過的最浪漫的地方之一。島上的房屋、街道和花園與土耳其風格無關,這是典型的歐洲風格,因爲這些島嶼是來自富裕的歐洲人和貴族們的夏季別墅使用的。
