Description: This evocative image captures the enchanting allure of Buyukada, the largest of the nine Princes' Islands nestled in the Marmara Sea off the coast of Istanbul, Turkey. Once a place of exile for Byzantine Empresses, this idyllic island paradise has since become a beloved summer retreat for the wealthy and privileged residents of Constantinople, now modern-day Istanbul. Buyukada's rich history is reflected in its charming stone houses, cobblestone streets, and ancient churches, which have remained largely untouched by the passage of time.
