For information on island travel prices, visit sehirhatlari.istanbul. The 3rd largest island of Istanbul, Burgaz Island, is 2 kilometers wide. There is 1 ATM on the island and it is usually broken, it was not working when I was there either. So bring cash with you. For example, bike rental, beds, umbrellas on the beach, small markets only accept cash. It is not possible to completely go around the island, you can go to a certain point and watch the unique view from the top. Electric bikes, motorcycles, etc. are not rented on the island. When you go down to the island and continue on the right, you can rent a bike from the only cyclist on the island, Ertan Bicycle, and you can easily tour the island in about 1 hour. (The rental fee is 10 TL per hour) The best bay on the island to enjoy the sun and sea is Madam Marta Bay. We paid 20 TL for 2 beds and 1 umbrella. The bay has a calm beach with sand and small stones, the water is a bit mossy and the sea is rocky. The wooded areas just behind the beach are suitable for camping. There is 1 cafeteria in the bay, you can eat roast chicken in a stone oven or find small snacks like toast. There is 1 police station on the island. Places of worship belonging to various religions can be visited by climbing to the high hill of the island and seeing the view of the islands. If you wish, you can spend the night in one of the many boutique hotels on the shore and wake up in the morning with a magnificent sea view. You can have a nice dinner at the fish restaurants on the shore accompanied by a magnificent sunset view and return to Istanbul on the last ferry.
