Istanbul Ferry Trip to the Princes' Islands

On a sunny sunday, I met my friend at Kadikoy pier. We took breakfast with a couple of tea and simits, which are croissants of Istanbul.

Then we took the ferry to the Princes' Islands of Istanbul.

Ferry trip is another nice way of travelling Istanbul. Like train trips, you can witness the life and culture of Istanbul. Sea gulls chased us all the way closely and cathed the pieces of simits we throw them.
