Can you believe this is Istanbul? 🇹🇷

Nothing beats Turkey in the summer! But it’s hard to choose between the sights, history, culture and excitement of Istanbul, and the beautiful relaxing beaches of the south! Lots of people don’t know that the Princes Islands are just a short ferry ride away from the centre of Istanbul. These car free islands are full of lovely beaches and feel a world away from the chaos of the city - it’s perfect if the city gets too much! The biggest islands are Buyukada, Heybeliada and Kinaliada. Take the local ferry from any of the ports and hop between them at your leisure - there is no need to do or pay for a cruise! #2024mapped #summervacation
