Sabiha Gokcen Airport is one of the two major international airports servicing Istanbul, just 35km from the city centre. The city’s main airport, Istanbul Atatürk Airport, quickly reached full capacity, and the decision was taken to build a new airport on the Asian southeast side of the city. As part of an overall development plan, the airport is to become part of an industry park and has the capacity to receive 25 million passengers through its doors each year. The airport serves many destinations throughout Europe and the Middle East, as well as the domestic market. In 2010, this award-winning airport was voted the world’s best airport at the World Low Cost Airlines Congress in London, quite an accreditation.

The Prince Islands (Adalar in Turkish) are an archipelago in the Sea of Marmara, they are a small haven of peace in Istanbul and a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The four main islands of the archipelago (Büyükada, Heybeliada, Burgazada and Kinaliada) are accessible by ferry from Kadikoy and Bostanci from the Asian side.
