The Princes' Islands are popular spots for one-day visits or for residing in a summer house. Motorized transportation being prohibited on the islands, horse carriages are used. City boats departing from Sirkeci and Bostanci and sea buses from Kabatas and Bostanci serve the islands. Tourist agencies also offer daily tours to the islands and, on reaching Buyukada, one can take a tour on donkey back
