Located on Büyükada, the largest of the Princes’ Islands, Büyükada Beach offers a tranquil retreat from the city's hustle, with its crystal-clear waters, scenic coastline, and peaceful atmosphere. Unlike Istanbul’s busier beaches, Büyükada’s shores are known for their calm waves and lush green surroundings, making it an ideal destination for sunbathing, swimming, and relaxation. Historically, Büyükada has been a popular summer getaway since the Byzantine and Ottoman periods, attracting both locals and foreign visitors seeking a refreshing escape by the sea. The island has several organized and public beaches, each offering different experiences—from family-friendly sandy shores to more secluded rocky coves. Most of the beaches are accessible by bike or horse-drawn carriages, as motor vehicles are restricted on the island, adding to its serene and nostalgic charm. Many visitors also combine their beach trip with a leisurely island tour, exploring historical mansions, monasteries, and pine forests. Whether you're looking for a relaxing swim, a scenic coastal walk, or a full-day island adventure, Büyükada Beach offers an unforgettable seaside experience just a short ferry ride from Istanbul.
