Büyükada Island's Absolute Essentials

Büyükada, the largest of Istanbul’s Princes' Islands, is defined by its car-free environment and Ottoman-era architecture. This list features the island's essential landmarks, from the hilltop Hagios Giorgios Church and the historic Museum of the Princes' Islands to the central 1923 Clock Tower.
