The Prince islands are perfect for a day’s escape from the fumes and noises of the city. Here all vehicles with combustion engines are forbidden, so it’s really quiet. Transports are done by horse cart, or bicycle, or most common, electric scooters. Just strolling around is like a dream.
We disembark at V Buyukada, the largest of the islands, and walk on narrow streets lined with picturesque houses (and some that desperately need some paint) and in a bike shop we rent two bikes.
