Büyükada - all beaches

The staff at the beach were extremely rude, which completely ruined our experience on the island and negatively impacted our perception of Turkish hospitality. It felt as though the staff believed we had no other options and acted as if they owned the entire sea, beach, and air. As a result, we decided to leave. I would strongly advise avoiding this beach at all costs.

Such a lovely and peaceful place to escape from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul 😂

This beach was a great spot for families to spend time together. I loved taking in the stunning ocean views while swimming or boating. They had a good selection of food and drinks, and their prices were reasonable compared to other beaches in the area. The staff was very friendly and the facilities were kept very clean.

You'll be captivated by the stunning beauty of this beach.

The entrance fee for the beach is 140 TL on holidays and weekends, and it closes at 7pm, so it's advisable to arrive early. Additionally, there is a ferry that takes you back to the main ferry at 7pm. The beach appears to be very well-maintained, with pristine water. The restaurant offers stunning views, although the portion sizes are quite small for the high prices. I would suggest trying the prawns, but I wouldn't recommend the calamari. It's worth mentioning that there is a possibility of encountering bees.

This beach is not what I would consider a traditional beach. It's more like a concrete platform right by the sea. To make matters worse, they even charged us for parking our bicycles at the tavern on the roadside. And then, on top of that, they charged us an entry fee of 300 Turkish Lira just to use their sunbeds. The sea was filled with numerous jellyfish, particularly the transparent ones, and there was a man attempting to remove them. The prices for food and drinks were reasonable, but my milkshake was practically all milk, with only a 2% flavoring.
