Museum of the Princes' Islands

Adalar Müzesi, the Museum of the Princes’ Islands, is the local museum devoted to the history of the island group known in Turkish as Adalar. It sits at Aya Nikola Mevkii, a coastal spot whose name keeps the old island geography alive in everyday use. The museum gathers the story of these islands, where summer villas, ferry links, and a long mix of Greek, Armenian, Jewish, and Turkish lives have shaped the landscape for centuries. Its English name, Museum of the Princes’ Islands, makes the setting clear for visitors from outside Turkey, but the Turkish title keeps the local identity front and center. Nearby, the island’s shoreline still carries the same layered history that the museum preserves in one place.
