In general, the island is not bad for walking, a lot of cozy buns, clean air, just half an hour from the center of Istanbul is such a Mediterranean town, a good option if there is no way to get further than Istanbul, but it is not worth special attention there is nothing particularly interesting here

Come for the whole day. You can rent a bike for about 200-300 liras for the whole day (you need one passport), but it is a little difficult to ride them through the mountains. There are many cafes, market shops and department stores near the port at reasonable prices, it even seemed a little cheaper than in Istanbul. If you walk through the market square, there will be free streets where transport does not pass so often and very few people walk. There are shops on the island's waterfront. There are a lot of cats near the houses, they were met in almost every yard.
A ferry runs from the island for 80 lira (as of September 2024) every hour, the last one from this island at 19:00

The largest of the Prince Islands and the fourth in a row. The main advice is to spare no effort and climb to the top of the island! There is a Greek monastery there, and the steepest spot overlooking the sea and other islands. It will be cool if you catch a sunset there. In addition to the mountain, there are many cafes, parks, beaches and roads on the island that you can walk around the entire island in a day.

A clean island, there are no problems with transport, which is good. There are many places to eat, the sights are interesting, but it is better to walk by yourself, since not everything is shown on excursions, And if they are shown, then out of the corner of your eye.

It's a very atmospheric place. Beautiful different houses made of wood, the nature is gorgeous. We were only there during the day, I want to see what happens there at night

A gorgeous place, I was in May, I really liked it, the only drawback is the inability to rent any wheels for yourself, because there is a lot to see, but alas, you will not be able to pass everything

I have never regretted that I went to the island for the whole day! After the bustling Istanbul, it's nice to walk along the quiet paths. There are also interesting places. Walk to the abandoned Greek orphanage - this place is simply impressive!

Что представляет из себя этот остров.
Живописное место, с красивыми видами ,чистым морем, вкусной кухней, советую бургеры в заведение Акация. Ещё очень понравилось кафе столовая на берегу моря. Единственное очень дорогие пляжи не оправданы от слова совсем.

Одно из лучших мест на земле, вкусный и недорогой чай, прокат велосипедов, классная дорожка по всему периметру острова, для катания на вело или прогулок, пробежек. Свежий гранатовый сок в феврале

Очень красивый остров! Без преувеличения - стоит там побывать хотя бы раз! Не упустите свою возможность увидеть нетипичную островную шумную и красивую, свежую, вкусную Турцию, в получасе от Стамбула на пароме! Не пожалеете!!!

If you go for a few hours in the evening in the cold season and are not going to climb the mountain, there is nothing much to do here, the streets consist of similar white cottages, the reviews about Trotsky's house are absolutely true.

The most beautiful place, a must-visit))) There are a lot of impressions and not expensive, as it is now all over Istanbul. On a regular ferry while you swim, it's still an adventure))) and the island itself, with its houses, cafes, is just a fairy tale 🥰

Our favorite route around the island. On foot, on bicycles, on a phaeton, and now on an electric car!
