The tower is small fort that is peaceful, clean and well maintained. You can climb to the top for a view of European and Asian Istanbul. There were two ferry services to the island that I could see. The first looked a bit makeshift. They were charging 1100 tl which had to be in cash. Some was paid there and some on the island. They were not leaving until they had enough passengers, which there were not, so I gave them a miss. Further along is a more official looking ferry with an office and a proper wharf. I paid 1300 tl here for the ferry which operates on a schedule. There were about eight people on this ferry and about a dozen all together on the island. There is also a small cafe on the island.
Thank you for taking the time to give us a 5-star review! We're glad to know that you had a great experience with us.
