The road will be mastered by the walking — it's about this place! A very short road up the mountain is an excellent test for a traveler, at the end of which he will see a small monastery on the top of the mountain. It's quite modest and cozy! But that's not the only reason to climb up. There are magnificent views from the mountain, it is only necessary to go behind artificial fences and sit on the edge of the cliff. We brought some goodies with us and enjoyed sitting for a couple of hours admiring the surrounding beauty.

The monastery is located on the island of Buyukada, at the very top. You need to walk up there, and it will be quite difficult to climb in uncomfortable shoes. But the monastery itself is unique. And the view of the surroundings is extraordinary. I don't want to leave there. I note that it is not necessary to sail there with an excursion. You can take the ferry yourself, which goes from Istanbul and runs between the islands. The schedule is available at the berths and tickets are easy to buy.
