Büyükada travel guide

Aerial view with drone over Büyükada the Princes Island in the Sea of Marmara Turkey Istanbul with many trees and villas. Recreation area

Prinkipo Greek Orthodox Orphanage ruins and Istanbul Anatolian side scenic view from Büyükada National Park (Adalar, Turkey)

Want to escape city life of Istanbul for a little while? Take a ferry ride to one of the nearby islands and go exploring. I recommend renting a bike and go to the top of the island. Amazing views, gorgeous scenery and horse-drawn buggies, what more could you want?

Büyükada's main way of public transportation is bikes and chariots pulled by horses.

Add hundreds of ancient buildings into the equation and you have the perfect combination for an experience out of this era.
