Part One: Amazing Princes Islands Istanbul Tour | Büyükada | Travel Vlog
Join with me to the amazing Princes Island Istanbul Tour, to the biggest of the Islands, Büyükada.
The Princes’ Islands (Adalar) are nine small islands in the Sea of Marmara, near to Istanbul mainland. Four of the islands are big and can be visited. The names of this islands are Büyükada, Kınalıada, Heybeliada and Burgazada.
I took the public ferry from Bostancı (Asia Side) to reach Büyükada, the biggest of the Princes' Islands. Of course, you can also take the ferry at the European Side, from Kabataş or Sirkeci, direct to the Princes Islands. My ferry stopped briefly on Heybeliada Island to unload some passengers before it moved on to Büyükada.
Büyükada Island (5.46 5,46 km²) is the biggest of the Princes’ Islands (ADALAR) in the Sea of Marmara, near to Istanbul. It was known as Prinkipos (Greek:Prince). In Byzantine times princes were exiled blinded, to remove them from the political scene. Nowadays people come voluntarily. Often there are large crowds of townspeople and tourists, especially weekends. To avoid the crowds i arrived approximately at 4:30 pm. The last tourists were already leaving the island.
Main transport in Büyükada are horse carriages. On the board of the horse carriage station are fixed prices for the rides, depending on where you want to go. You can also make a short or a long Island Tour with the horse carriage. (Turkish: Küçük Tur and Büyük Tur)
The conditions in which these horses on the island are living is criticised by animal welfare groups. Many locals refuse using horse carriages. As an alternative you can explore the island by renting a bicycle or walking.
On the seaside promenade are see few seaside fish restaurants (seafood) with a impressive view of the Marmara Sea and Istanbul. You have in Büyükada a selection of restaurants with different price categories. Some shops, coffees and bars are also available. And during the Summer people can enjoy the beaches of Büyükada.

How to See Istanbul like a Local
Watch more How to Travel videos:
Experience the real Istanbul -- and avoid tourist traps -- with these insider tips.
Step 1: Visit the smaller markets
Enjoy the famous Grand Bazaar. But don't miss these local favorites -- Balik Pazari, the Fish Market; Cicek Pasaji, the Flower Passage; and the Kadikoy Market. For a truly hidden treasure, visit the Kasimpasa Kastamonu market; it's only open from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Sundays, but the delectables are worth an early wake-up call.
Step 2: Check out the new art
After you've admired Istanbul's ancient treasures, check out the robust modern art scene at the Istanbul Modern Museum and the Haaz Gallery.
Step 3: Head to the islands
Spend a day exploring the Princes' Islands, a chain of nine islands in the Sea of Marmara. Four are open to the public and accessible by ferry.
Tip
Buyukada is the largest of the islands, and also the most crowded. If you'd prefer a less touristy retreat, go to Burgazada.
Step 4: Enjoy happy hour
Head to Istiklal Avenue at sunset; that's where Istanbul residents pack the taverns for after-work drinks and mezes -- small plates of nibbles similar to Spain's tapas. Also check out the Cihangir area, known as the Soho of Istanbul, and nearby Cukurcuma, which is filled with antique shops.
Tip
Try raki, an aniseed-flavored alcoholic beverage that's considered the national drink; other spirits are quite pricey.
Step 5: Trip the light fantastic
When happy hour ends, move on to the rest of Beyoglu, where you'll find lots of restaurants serving traditional fare and bars and nightclubs featuring Turkish pop music. Pooped? Have a Turkish coffee!
Did You Know?
Istanbul has the second-oldest subway in the world still in operation, built in 1875.

Istanbul Travel Guide - Turkey Charming Experience
Istanbul Travel Guide - Turkey Charming Experience
Istanbul (İstanbul) is Turkey's most populous city as well as its cultural and financial hub. Located on both sides of the Bosphorus, the narrow strait between the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea, Istanbul bridges Asia and Europe both physically and culturally. Istanbul's population is estimated to be between 12 and 19 million people, making it also one of the largest cities in Europe and the world.
Istanbul is divided in three by the north-south Bosphorus Strait (Istanbul Bogazi), the dividing line between Europe and Asia, the estuary of the Golden Horn (Haliç) bisecting the western part and the Sea of Marmara (Marmara Denizi) forming a boundary to the south. Most sights are concentrated in the old city on the peninsula of Sultanahmet, to the west of the Bosphorus between the Horn and the Sea. Across the Horn to the north are Galata, Beyoğlu and Taksim, the heart of modern Istanbul, while Kadıköy is the major district on the comparatively less-visited Anatolian side of the city. The Black Sea forms the northern boundary of Istanbul.
Expanding the ancient Roman colony of Byzantium by the order of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, the imperial city of Constantinople was for nearly a thousand years the last remaining outpost of the Roman (later termed Eastern Roman or Byzantine) Empire. It was finally conquered by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II on 29 May 1453, an event sometimes used to mark the end of the Middle Ages. It was the nerve centre for military campaigns that were to enlarge the Ottoman Empire dramatically. By the mid 1500s, Istanbul, with a population of almost half a million, was a major cultural, political, and commercial centre. Ottoman rule continued until it was defeated in WWI and Istanbul was occupied by the allies. When the Republic of Turkey was born in 1923 after the War of Independence, Kemal Atatürk moved its capital to the city of Ankara. However, Istanbul has continued to expand dramatically; today its population is approximately 14 million and increases at an estimated 400,000 immigrants per year. Industry has expanded even as tourism has grown.
Istanbul has a temperate oceanic climate which is influenced by a continental climate, with hot and humid summers and cold, wet and occasionally snowy winters. There is an extensive bus system, including city-run and private buses, as well as one high-speed Metrobüs line; an extensive light rail system including six Metro (underground) lines, four Tramvays (aboveground), three Fünikülers (ascending/descending), two mini-lines called Teleferik, and the Marmaray (underwater) lines; and the ferries which travel the Bosphorus. Buying an Istanbulkart is a good idea if you are in Istanbul for more than a day or two, and intend to use public transport. Basically it pays itself if you take more than 4 times of bus, metro, ferry etc.
With its long history at the center of empires, Istanbul offers a wealth of historic and religious places to take in. The bulk of these ancient monuments, dating back to Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods, including the Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace, Sultanahmet Mosque (Blue Mosque), and Basilica Cistern are located around Sultanahmet Square, while some others are dispersed throughout the peninsula of old city, such as Church of St Savior in Chora (Kariye Müzesi), entire inside of which is covered by mindblowing frescoes and mosaics. An impressive section of mostly intact Theodosian walls, which mark the full length of western boundary of the peninsula.
