Buyukada

Upon standing on the deck of the ferry, feeling the eternal and warm waves of a serenity promising wind, you can see the fading Istanbul with its noise and rat race.

They are all behind you now.

The sunset, barouches, bikes, lime trees…

They are all before you now. Buyukada is waiting for you.

It seems to be just a place somewhere in the world. Maybe it is or maybe it is nothing like that. The cries of the gulls, the color of the mimosas and the scent of the sea restore your soul with every breath. It makes the impossibles possible for you to see or maybe understand your true self because the colors, the seasons, the sounds, everything in here is more like itself than anywhere. You can come to the island when the winter descends or the spring dawns. It does not matter because you will witness the beauties of each season.
