Buyukada (Pass by)
The charming streets of Büyükada offer a peaceful escape, perfect for exploring on two wheels. With no motor vehicles allowed, the island’s cobblestone roads wind past historic wooden mansions draped in blooming bougainvillea. As you pedal through quiet lanes, the only sounds are birdsong and the soft hum of your bicycle. Every turn reveals a new view glimpses of the sea, hidden gardens, and echoes of the past in the island breeze.

2Aya Yorgi Church
Perched atop Büyükada’s highest point, Aya Yorgi Church is a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of the Marmara Sea. The climb is steep, but the reward is worth every step—or pedal. This small yet spiritual Greek Orthodox chapel, surrounded by pine trees and silence, has welcomed pilgrims and visitors for over a century. At the summit, a gentle breeze and panoramic views create a moment of calm you won’t forget.

3Buyukada Rum Yetimhanesi
Hidden among the trees on a quiet hill of Büyükada stands the Prinkipo Greek Orphanage—one of the largest wooden buildings in Europe. Though time has weathered its walls, its presence is powerful and mysterious. Once home to hundreds of children, today it sits abandoned, surrounded by nature and whispers of the past. Cycling past its towering frame, you can almost hear the echoes of a forgotten era carried in the wind.

4Buyukada
Beyond the lively town center lies the island’s peaceful backside—where pine forests meet the sea and time slows down. Here, the roads are quieter, the air fresher, and the views wider. As you ride your bike along these secluded paths, you'll pass rocky cliffs, hidden coves, and untouched nature. It’s the perfect place to breathe deep, take a break, and feel the island’s soul away from the crowds. We can have short brake there.
