Aysenur's love for Burgaz Island originates from having an Aunt whom lives on the island, a place she visits often to soak up the calming energy, the car-free roads, the pristine air and the local cuisine at the hill top Kalpazankaya Restaurant. I can't wait to share Burgaz Island with my wife and kids on our next trip to the region. Thank you Aysenur, we will keep in touch.

Highlights

We will take a ferry which is very symbolic for İstanbul to go to an island.

Drinking coffee while enjoying the amazing view of İstanbul.

Walking or biking(upon request) tour around the Island.

Having lunch at the best restaurant which has a unique view of the Island

Description

Burgazada is my favorite getaway in Istanbul, mostly because it is not a preferred location by tourists. Travellers tend to choose to go to the largest island, Büyükada, for a day trip. I'm definitely not against it. There are amazing spots to see in Büyükada Island which is the largest of the Princes' Islands. The reason I like Burgazada the most is because it is very peaceful and less touristic and crowded in comparison to the other Princes' Islands.
