My first trip to Istanbul took place many years ago, but the princesses of the island and I were able to visit only in the summer of 2015. You can get there on a ship from different marins, we were more convenient to sail from the European part of the city with Eminon (there you can get to the funicular from the Taxim known to each tourist or take a bus). In addition to the cost of a shipboard ticket, no extra money is required to the island, this is her special charm! No, of course, you may want to eat (food there, like everywhere in Turkey, excellent), or buy ice cream (especially tasty on the printed islands), or ride on the horseback, and this is, of course, not for free! But a very economical tourist will do something. For example, you can look at the incredibly beautiful sea, which is also clean, that the rarity for the port Istanbul:
And on the islands themselves, it is enough to just take a walk in the shade, especially hot summer, and enjoy the silence and coniferous air of these places. In general, the greens here is very bright, straight emerald, because it pleases the eye of the modern town dweller:
Of all the islands, I recommend most of all for visiting the Burea of Hell, the biggest and interesting. It is best enough to feel the Greek spirit, because the Greeks lived before in these places. And here are normal beaches, on which perfectly relaxing in the summer. For the children of the island, at this time of the year, too, will also be as follows, you can rent bicycles for the whole family and arrange a sports day off. And you can just get together and look at sunset:
In general, all visiting Istanbul recommend to get to the islands. This place simply can not do not like it! Especially, I think it will be appreciated by the couples: such romance in other places it is still necessary, and then it is right under the side and at quite an affordable price.
