[Special Island Tour] Buyukada Island in Istanbul, a good place for a leisurely stroll around the island

#September2024 When you come to Istanbul, you must visit its outlying islands. This time the recommendation is Buyukada Island. The island is located in the Marmara Sea, the smallest ocean in the world. It’s just over an hour’s boat ride from Istanbul. It was the place where the Ottoman Empire exiled noble princes at that time. After the end of the Ottoman Empire, wealthy people rushed to buy villas here. This place has become the back garden of Istanbul residents, where locals spend weekends and escape the heat in the summer. It is recommended to take a walk around Buyukada Island. Strolling along the tree-lined path leading to the sea, the sea breeze caresses your hair, the mottled shade of the trees, the fresh air, the quiet island, and the unique tranquility. The sunlight scattered through the leaves and the coolness brought by the sea breeze, such beautiful scenery will still be remembered many years later. Transportation: Kabatas Pier Kafikoy Pier You can buy tickets to take a boat to the island at these two piers.
