Fairies, Horses and Serenity on Büyükada

How wonderful it was to escape Istanbul's kalabalik and take the ferry to the Princes' Islands. We had a perfect sunny day and were even active enough to take the bike around the island. After I found out that cycling in Istanbul is a whole different experience than cycling through the Dutch landscape, we were wise enough to walk all the way up to the top of the island where you can find the old Greek Monastery, the Orphanage and lots of horses! The surrounding was absolutely stunning.
Oh and almost forgot to mention that there are no cars on the whole island!! People/tourists can be transferred in the old fashioned way; by horse carriages.

  4. Hi Jaira,

    In one of your blog entries which you also posted Hilton Istanbul photos, you were mentioning a lady who was having a research about Hilton Istanbul.We are also working on the 55. Anniversary of the Hilton Istanbul and would like to get intouch with this lady.

    I'd really appreciate if you can send an e-mail to neslihan.sen@hilton.com.

    many thanks,

    Burcu
