Answer:

Islands are not connected to land and are instead located in a sea or an ocean. This means that it is relatively easy to get to them with a ship. Since you travel by water and not by land you don't need to navigate roads, hills, mountains and you can carry a lot more goods for the trade. One ship can carry a lot more goods for trade than one or a few caravans with horses.
