Istanbul. These islands are called Princes' Islands,
because in the old days the princes used to be exiled in
these islands. Four of these nine islands are inhabited.
There are mostly the summer houses of the inhabitants of
Istanbul. These islands are called Kinaliada, Burgazada,
Heybeliada and Buyukada. To drive cars, trucks or
