The Istanbul Islands, known as the Princes Islands or the Red Islands, are located on the Asian and Anatolian sides of the city. The island consists of 9 islands and 2 cliffs near the shore. These are Büyükada, Heybeliada, Burgazada, Kınalıada and Sedefadası. In Rabbit Island, Kaşık Island, Yassıada and Sivriada, there is no permanent settlement.

The importance of the Princess islands in the Byzantine period began in 567 when the Emperor Justin made a palace at that time in Büyükada called Megale (Büyük). After this date, monasteries and churches were built on the islands. During the Byzantine period, the nobles were the place of exile of the princes. Therefore, in the case of Western sources, the islands are named as Prince Islands. There are 899 historical buildings on the islands.
