Another hidden gem in Istanbul! Büyükada🇹🇷

Not many tourists have heard of the Princes’ Islands. This quiet corner of Istanbul, completely different from the city itself, won me over with its nature. Plus, it offers a stunning panoramic view of the city.

✨Here are some reasons to visit Büyükada (Adalar):
– No cars — a huge bonus for walking around
– Beautiful natural scenery
– Monastery of St. George: legend says that if you climb to the very top and make a wish, it will definitely come true!
– Historic architecture

🚇How to get there:
Ferries regularly depart from Eminönü, Kadıköy, Bostancı and Beşiktaş. The journey takes from 40 minutes to an hour, depending on your departure point. You can pay with the Istanbul transport card.
