A serene oasis just a ferry ride away from the bustling chaos of the city. The journey itself is an integral part of the experience, offering stunning views of the sea and the graceful dance of pesky seagulls. This car-free paradise is a unique gem where visitors traverse the charming streets either on bikes, electric carts, or simply by strolling through the picturesque lanes.
Buyuk is steeped in history, boasting historic mansions that once served as summer retreats for the affluent elite.
