Itinerary
1
Çankaya Caddesi
As you explore the island (especially along Çankaya Street and in the Nizam and Maden areas), you'll be captivated by the numerous well-preserved late Ottoman-era villas and mansions. These grand wooden houses showcase intricate architecture and were once summer homes for Istanbul's elite.
10 minutes
2
Aya Yorgi Church
Located atop Yücetepe (the highest hill on Büyükada), this Greek Orthodox monastery offers breathtaking panoramic views of the island, the Sea of Marmara, and Istanbul's Asian side. It's a popular pilgrimage site, and the walk or electric buggy ride up is part of the experience
3
Buyukada Rum Yetimhanesi
This massive wooden building is an impressive and somewhat melancholic sight. While often in disrepair and not accessible inside, its sheer size and historical significance (it was once a luxury hotel and then an orphanage) make it a notable landmark
4
Heybeliada Island
A significant Greek Orthodox seminary, though often not open to the public, its impressive architecture can be admired.
5
Burgazada
Sait Faik Abasıyanık Museum: Dedicated to the famous Turkish writer who lived on the island.
Kalpazankaya Beach and Restaurant: A popular spot for enjoying the sea and dining with a view.
Charming Streets: A quieter island with colorful houses and a fishing village vibe.
6
Kinaliada
Red Soil and Beaches: Known for its reddish soil and smaller, more intimate beaches, being the closest island to Istanbul.
Churches and Mosques: Reflecting its diverse historical communities (Armenian, Greek).
