- Shaileshwori SharmaJuly 23, 2016Must visit! One of Princes Islands, 2-3 hours' ferry ride from Istanbul. Whole island is w/o motors, has horse-driven carriages & is away from chaos. Come back on last ferry for magical sunset view.
- HoomanJune 28, 2015You should come here as early as possible so you have time to discover this lovely island. A perfect gateway for a couple. Restaurants often offer the same menu, and most of them are good
- Vaggelis KSeptember 12, 2015Pros:Great for a bike ride, lively, beautiful. Cons: Turk mentality that see you as a wallet. All nearby beaches are not free (25 lira per person). Free beaches are very hard to find (8km away)

- Ali RezaSeptember 4, 2018Nice island. Few cars. many horses and they are smelly as they pass you with carts. can rent a bike it takes at least 1 hour to cycle the islands shortest route. There are hills and ups and downs.
- Nasser 🇸🇦January 7, 2019Wonderful Island that everyone should visit during Turkey Trip. It may be a good idea to spend one night here in one of the island hotels.
- Yucetepe Restaurant is the best view and delicious dishes. Located next to Aya Yorgi (St. George) church. The last 900 meters is on foot and uphill climbing. Must see!

- Minji LeeOctober 13, 2015Büyükada, though considered a "big island," is an intimate neighborhood with a small hometown feel. Gorgeous Greek architecture all around
- Rodrigo FernandezSeptember 13, 2013The island is very cool and quiet. Very different from Istanbul and it's frenetic atmosphere. BUT 1) horses are everywhere and it stinks 2) the beaches are private (paid) and they honestly suck.

- mehmet gelAugust 16, 2015Make sure for the price for entire trip before you ride on a hours. Because you will be cheated by hours owner. I agreed 75 lira but at the end of trip they demanded 130 lira. Than they charged me 75
