Since there is no car traffic on the islands, you can walk on the streets peacefully among the beautiful wooden mansions and colorful gardens, or rent a bike or electric vehicle. In Büyükada, among the bright blue color of ​​the Marmara Sea and lush pines of the island, you’ll see the traces of Greek and Turkish architecture, on the Pier area you’ll immediately realize the Ottoman Neo-Classical styles in the cafes and restaurants, as well as the Clock Tower.
