The Princes' Islands (Prens Adaları), which was just an exile for princes during the Byzantine Empire, has become one of the most visited tourist attractions in Istanbul, both from domestic and foreign visitors. Trips are organized throughout the week to the Princes’ Islands, and it gets more intense at weekends by Turkish visitors who are fed up with the city’s extreme hustle and bustle, in addition to foreign tourists who come to Turkey to spend or enjoy fun in nature and away from car exhaust smoke.
