ISTANBUL: THE PRINCES ISLANDSIn a 36 page tribute, Cornucopia offers five contrasting views of the largest of the Princes Islands, Büyükada. Distant enough for monastic retreat and political exile, close enough for the summer migration of Istanbul's bourgeoisie, this beguiling island has a tranquil past but a perilous future. Andre Finkel looks back with affection on thirty years of summer holidays; John Carswell records his first impressions; Elizabeth Meath Baker and Angela Berzeg unlock the doors to three of its most fascinating houses.
