EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Landing Stage and Casino on Buyukada, also known as Prinkipo or the Princes' Islands, in Turkey. Dating back to 1923, this image offers a glimpse into the enchanting 1920s era. Buyukada, located in the Marmara Sea, is the largest of the Princes' Islands and is renowned for its unique charm and tranquility, untouched by the modern world. The photograph showcases the Landing Stage, where boats would dock, bringing visitors to the island. The quay, adorned with wooden planks and lined with trees, exudes a rustic charm. The Casino building, located nearby, adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The Casino, which was originally built as a social club for the European community residing on the island, is a grand, neoclassical structure with intricate columns and ornate details. The image is bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, casting long shadows and creating a serene atmosphere. The calm waters of the sea reflect the vibrant colors of the setting sun, adding to the picture's beauty. The absence of modern structures and the vintage vehicles in the background further emphasize the timeless quality of the photograph. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and charm of Buyukada and the Princes' Islands, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. It is a must-see destination for anyone seeking to experience the unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty that the islands have to offer.
