Your guide will tell you about the islands history during the ride, and about its time as a place of exile for banished statesmen and royalty, and of its life as a monastic settlement during Turkeys Byzantine-Christian period. Pass lovely wooden mansions that are stunning examples of the islands late Ottoman-era architecture, and look out over the sparkling sea. Seagulls are everywhere in Büyükada, and if you'd like to feed them, your guide will give you simits (bread with sesame seeds) so you can toss them a treat.
