Hello everybody and welcome back to Istanbul. On another beautiful day here in the city
0:07
I decided to meet up with a friend of mine to head to the Princess Islands, which is a set of
0:12
islands about an hour, hour and a half away from the mainland Istanbul. So firstly, I jumped on a
0:18
ferry to Karaköy and then I headed on to the metro down to Postancı to meet up with my friend
0:30

1:03
So we're gonna get a ride and go there and see. There are no cars there
1:09

3:11
we have arrived just in time for sunset I think sunset in about half an hour so
3:15
we gonna run hopefully up to the top of the island and we catch it but This is amazing This is like something out of a movie This is just incredible
3:35
And this is all just one hour away from Istanbul. It's insane
3:50
Okay, now I'll talk to Debbie Luce. Where do we get them from
4:08
All right guys, so we rented some bikes. I haven't been the bike in so many years. I'm really scared. I'm gonna kill someone
4:50
Where are we riding to? I have no idea, honestly. We're just gonna ride around the island and see what happens
4:56
We've come right at the right point. The sun is just setting
5:00
The weather is coming really nice. The weather is beautiful, it's not too hot
5:04
Yeah, it's not hot anymore. So nice. time cycling is hard work but it's beautiful look

I'm exhausted, we're having to push the bikes up the hill, but this view
7:14
It's amazing it's still about 30 degrees so we are sweaty okay we're definitely not allowed to do this but i think i'm going to hop over the fence to see that
8:11
Okay, I'm gonna leave before I get a shower down
8:31
So what do you make of this island so far? I love it
8:37
It's really calm and relaxing and cycling is a bit tiring but i would love to camp here like overnight yeah we were just saying
8:47
that it would be amazing just to camp and watch this sunset yeah with some menamen and campfire
8:57
yeah campfire marshmallows yeah it would be amazing all of the houses here have
9:04
what are they called shutters yeah and are surrounded by these beautiful flowers
9:09
and dogs and a lot of cats so many cats more cats than people i think yeah
9:15
yeah it's famous that it has a lot of cats here in turkey
9:19
but especially in this island really yeah how did they get here that's a good question
9:24
yeah this is really amazing yeah there are no cars here if you notice only the police car
9:31
Yeah, there's only police cars and bicycles and electric mini cars. Yeah, and the electric like mini car things that take people around the island
9:41
Yeah, and it's forbidden to get a car here. Yeah, you're not allowed to get cars here, which is amazing
9:45
Not sure how you would get one here anyway. And if you notice it, the air here is more like fresher than Istanbul
9:52
Yeah, yeah. It's fresh. And it's so good to have this here because people can just come here for maybe a weekend or..
10:00
really really amazing and it makes a change for just getting away from the busyness of Istanbul
