The Prince Islands

The Prince Islands are an archipelago off the coast of Istanbul, Turkey, in the Sea of Marmara. They consist of four larger islands (pictures are from Kınalıada — "Henna Island") and five much smaller ones. Fun fact: during the Byzantine period, princes and other royalty were exiled on the islands, and later members of the Ottoman sultans family were exiled there too, giving the islands their present name.
