Day 8: The Prince's Islands

Tuesday, May 20

The Prince's Islands (Adalar) is to Istanbul as the San Juan Islands are to Seattle - the place where urbanites escape for the weekends. We board a morning ferry with a gaggle of teenagers and visit two islands - Hinaliada and Burgazada. They are described by the guidebook as the "Armenian" and the "Greek" islands respectively, but we could not discern the subtle indicators and failed to die of culture shock.
