Princes' Islands, Archipelago of nine islands in Sea of Marmara, Turkey.
The Prince Islands form a chain of nine islands off the coast of Istanbul, with four main inhabited islands: Büyükada, Heybeliada, Burgazada, and Kinaliada.
During the Byzantine and Ottoman periods, these islands served as places of exile for political figures and housed numerous monasteries and religious establishments.
The islands maintain a Greek Orthodox heritage through various religious celebrations, traditional festivals, and preserved architectural structures throughout the year.
Transportation within the islands operates without motor vehicles, relying instead on horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, and walking paths for mobility.
The Naval High School on Heybeliada Island continues to train maritime officers, maintaining a centuries-old tradition of naval education in the region.
