Today we decided to visit the Princes’ Islands, a chain of islands off the coast of Istanbul. The ferry ride took about an hour and a half, stopping at four islands. We decided to stop at the last one, Büyükadas, which was also the largest island. The islands are interesting in that there are no cars – so the main methods of transportation are walking (which we did), bicycle (which can be hired), and horse drawn carriage (which we stayed as far away from as possible, but we couldn’t avoid them completely!)
On the return ferry trip we chose to disembark in Kadikoy, on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, and then caught the next ferry across to the Eminönü on the European side, making that journey our shortest ever trip to Asia (about 20 minutes).
