Istanbul’s Islands, where peace, nature and history meet, were included in BBC’s travel routes. The Islands, where cars are prohibited, have been described as a peaceful address for those who want to escape from the complex and busy pace of the city.

The islands, or in other words the Prince Islands, are the favorite of not only Istanbulites, but also tourists from surrounding provinces and abroad. Richard Collett from BBC Travel spoke highly of the Islands, which bear traces of the Ottoman Empire and where those who are bored of busy city life escape.

The sparsely populated Islands, located off the southern shores of the Anatolian Side of Istanbul, are among the „peaceful escape“ routes, as well as offering a glimpse into Istanbul’s multicultural past. The Islands, which BBC included in their list of things to be discovered, consist of 9 islands, large and small, and five of the islands (Büyükada, Heybeliada, Burgazada, Kınalıada and Sedef Island) are inhabited.

Driving is prohibited on the Islands, where princes were exiled during the Byzantine and Ottoman periods. The Islands, which you can reach after a short journey by ferry, shed light on Istanbul’s multicultural past and promise a „green escape“ from Europe’s largest city, Istanbul.

Richard Collett from BBC Travel says, „It’s as if time has stopped in the Islands“ and states that the architecture reflects the past. Expressing the local people’s message of „Don’t rush“, Collett argues that the Prince Islands should be explored in a calm manner, discovering different cultures and enjoying the view.
