Such a lovely and peaceful place to escape from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul 😂
This island is a great escape from Istanbul, just a one-hour boat ride away.
The beach is lovely. We paid 150 TL per person (not sure why someone complained about this) and took the boat from the easily visible port. It wasn't crowded on weekdays, which was great. The water was clean.
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.
