Exile of the Princess, a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

Heybeliada is the second biggest island of the Princes Island. This group of island is close to Istanbul, just a few minutes in ferry from the city centre. But the difference between both of them are amazing.Princes`s Island is full of small towns with old houses and the soul of slow life. No pollution or crowds. No one running around. Cars are banned so horses like this one are the only transportation arund the island
The architecture remiends a little bit of the old summer towns of the beggining of the century. Wooden houses, pine forest, lonely beaches and even chariots

Hi Fran,
That is a wonderful and unique type of architecture, and your note is fascinating. The inclusion of the horse drawn carraige is a great idea to help the story of this special place.
All the best
