Talk:Princes' Islands

the remaining islands
It says there are nine islands, but I could only count six.. We should also include Kasik Adasi, Sedef Adasi.. I don't know what the nineth island is.. Baristarim 05:05, 20 November 2006 (UTC)


 * There was Sivriada, Kaşık Adası, Sedef Adası, and Tavşan Adası, which is a small uninhabited islet. Khoikhoi 00:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Far too much repetition
This article seems to contain pure copies of the material from the individual articles for the major islands. This must be fixed, for instamce by replacnig the content here with just a reference to the individual article. -- Egil 12:11, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Eminönü ferry?
Is there really a ferry out of Eminönü? I walked up and down the terminal looking for it for it, because one map I had claimed showed a dotted line from there to Adalar. Eventually I asked a couple of the ferry staff, and I was explicitly told that Kabataş is the only terminal on the European side that runs to the islands. --Quintucket (talk) 18:00, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Quintucket! It seems your map is outdated. On İDO's website, the ferry to Princes' Islands departs from Kabataş on the European side or from Bostancı just opposite of the islands. I hope it's not too late for your trip there. Cheers. CeeGee (talk) 18:28, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * CeeGee, thanks. I got the map concerned from a tourist information booth, and it seems to be a bad map in a lot of respects. (You get what you pay for.) I've been to the Prince's Islands twice already--once from Kabataş and once from Kadiköy, but my first attempt was from Eminönü.  I wanted to confirm that I wasn't missing something before changing the article though. --Quintucket (talk) 18:42, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Quintucket, I am responding to you being sure that by now you know better than me where to board a "vapur" for Adalar; but only to satisfy your curiosity, there used to be ships from "Köprü", i.e. the Galata Bridge. Well that was ages ago, when I was a teenager. Do you still keep that map? Maybe we could earn some money. BTW I wonder who's idea is the title of the article. It should be either Prince or Princes; what is the f...unction of the (')?! I will remove that apostrophe, OK? --E4024 (talk) 20:54, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

correct name?
Prince Islands in the title and Princes' Island in the text. Is one more correct?--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 19:39, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The article had been moved, just before that time, without a proper reason. Princes' Islands is the usual English name, and the meaning is explained in the first sentence. I've moved it back. I hope no one objects, but I will happily discuss. Andrew Dalby 19:14, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
