We run away to the island from the noise and heat of Istanbul. It was at the very end of our journey. If we had not had a flight back home we would have stayed more! We thank Sevtap most warmly for her care!
The decision to run away was quite impulsive. That's why we wrote Sevtap the same day we wanted to check in. She replied immediately and despite we were to come very late at night, she was kind enough to meet us at the marine station! We felt like we are coming back home and one of our best friends was meeting us.
The apartment was sparkling clean! The rooms were beautifully decorated. Folded towels with dried flowers lay on the bed. You know, it was wow. Matrasses were super nice. The apartment has 2 balconies, and when you open both, you can have as much fresh air as you can handle)
It also had a fully equipped kitchen, complete with dishes and a dishwashing machine. Sevtap had prepared a tasty compliment for us. And in the fridge, we had found a housemade yogurt and a confiture from roses and oranges! So we had such good breakfasts on a balcony.
And the silence was total! Petroleum cars are not allowed on the island. We heard no music from cars, bars, and restaurants, no people shouting, nothing from that you can have in Istanbul in plenty.
We visited 3 beaches there, the first one is good and very close, the second is very nice and cozy, and the third one, at the very end of the island, was the best. It's far from the residential area so it is wild and empty. That's why no matter where you stay on the island, you need a bike to reach it. The rental station is 5 min walk from the apartment.
So I highly recommend this apartment!
