I stayed at Fulya's place with my partner for a peaceful winter break on Kınalıada to escape the bustle of Istanbul. The kitchen was well equiped and local shops near by supplied everything needed to self-cater. Fulya gave us some tips on where to go on the island, such as the local butcher and bakery. There are also a couple of good tavernas open in the winter (and clearly more available in summer). I recommend Fulya's place and Kınalıada in general (much more chilled out than Büyükada), with frequent ferries to the other islands and Kadıköy. The view from the balcony is fantastic and I would love to stay here again in the summertime.
