Adalar (the Princes' Islands) is an archipelago of nine islands in the Sea of Marmara, of which four are inhabited and most visited — Büyükada, Heybeliada, Burgazada and Kınalıada. The islands are closed to private motor traffic; for many years horse-drawn phaetons were the local transport, replaced by electric vehicles in 2020 on animal-welfare grounds.

Büyükada, the largest island, is famous for the Aya Yorgi Monastery rising through pine forests; this Byzantine site draws visitors year-round, and its 23 April pilgrimage gathers thousands from different faiths. The Theological School of Heybeliada, the Sait Faik Museum on Burgazada and the Armenian community heritage of Kınalıada are living layers of the islands' cosmopolitan memory. With old wooden mansions, small fishing harbours and seaside tea gardens, the Princes' Islands are Istanbul's slowest and most photogenic corner.
