Holidaymakers Meet in Burgazada
You want to choose one of the islands for your weekend getaway. The options are more or less clear. The usual destination is Büyükada. If not, Kınalı, and if that doesn't work, Heybeliada. However, Burgazada is a good option for a weekend getaway outside of these choices.
For those going from Istanbul, it is sufficient to take the city line ferries going to the islands. You reach the island after a journey of about 1 hour from the European side, and about 45 minutes from Kadıköy.
The island has a view similar to the Aegean coast. You can see young people walking around with their towels on almost all the beaches. Horse-drawn carriages and stray animals that you will see everywhere seem to have formed the characteristic of the island. It purifies your soul with its calmness, in defiance of Istanbul's hustle and bustle.
Eating fish or tandoori at Kalpazankaya, visiting the Sait Faik Museum, whose house once lived there and has been turned into a museum, and swimming in Kumbaros Cove are two of the things you should consider while spending time on the island. You can also swim at the beaches named 6 numara and Çamakya.
This charming island, which was once a Greek village, is so small that its width and length are almost 2 km. So much so that you can walk around the island by walking in the sea and have quite a lot of fun.
