In this episode of Lifestyle Hal, we delve into the enchanting allure of Buyuk, the largest of the Princes Islands in Istanbul. 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. These Ottoman-era architectural marvels add a touch of elegance and character to the island, painting a vivid picture of its rich past. And let's not forget about the delectable local flavors that tantalize the taste buds of visitors. From mouthwatering sweets to savory delights, Buyuk offers a culinary journey like no other.
For the adventurous souls, a hike up to the Monastery of St. George promises a rewarding experience with unparalleled views of the island and the vast expanse of the sea. The climb may be a tad challenging, but the panoramic vistas from the summit make it all worthwhile. Lifestyle Hal truly captures the essence of Buyuk, a hidden paradise where time stands still, and tranquility reigns supreme.
