Our stay at Heybeliada was wonderful. We loved the outstanding view from this house. The location was very convenient because a quick ferry boat ride will take you to the most well known places that Istanbul has to offer. Our host Alptekin Bey was very kind and helpful. He quickly responded to all of our needs and let us use the organically grown vegetables in his home grown garden, which was delicious! The resident neighbor to the host was Hamdi Bey and he was was an absolute delight to be around he is very knowledgeable of the island and very generously gave us a tour around the island. He was so helpful in showing us what beaches to go to and where we could shop for food and our other necessities. Along with our host Alptekin bey they were the perfect duo you can find in an unknown place when you are traveling. Me and my family loved this island so much and will most definitely be visiting again soon.
