The influence of the
tourism movements started in mid 19th century in Europe as modern
sense, reached the Prince Islands, which is very close to Istanbul, almost at
the same time it reached the world. Tourism and recreational activities in the
islands have become evident by the transformation of small-scale residential
areas, which were permanent residents and not yet associated with tourism
before, into use for tourism. As tourism and recreational activities are linked
with the sea, developmental changes are mostly visible on the coastline.
Tourism in the islands has begun to develop during the period when physical
attractions are not influenced by special facilities. In this period, the most obvious effect of physical
attractiveness of tourism and recreational activities towards the island is
that the air of the islands is good for some diseases. As Islands are visited by the most important
statesmen of Turkey, they became popular among Turkish society and investments
increase during this period as it was during Ottoman Empire period. Last
period which includes the time extending from 1980's to today, the tourism and
recreational activities of the islands constantly developed, just like in the
past years, only paused for a short while.
