Picnic & Barbeque in Prince Islands (Istanbul / Turkey)

Prince Islands |
The closest barbecue and picnic place in Istanbul should be the first ones to come to mind. We can say that each island has its own unique aspect. I will try to give you some information on how they can be made small. The information I write is valid for the summer season. I will share the information about the winter season in another writing.
Note: You can think of the stars next to the names as the ratings I give over five stars in my opinion.
Kınalıada(Proti)
In the winter we can say the island is the emptyest in the islands. But when the calendars come to April and show the sun's face, then Kınalıda begins to fill up. It is the most comfortable place to enter the sea in the islands. There is a very wide beach. Besides it is very crowded but also bad. I know that Kınalıada is nice for daily people but it is very difficult for the island residents especially on weekends. I can say it's a real mess. But if you want to go one time as the beach is the place I'll give you;
Kumluk Beach

Kumluk Beach |
You can easily reach the plaja with free motor services from the pier. This beach can be interpreted as the most beautiful beach area of the island where you can find options to meet your many needs from the beach.

Ayazma Beach
I would suggest as an alternative. From the back of the island you can reach the plaja by bicycle or on foot. If you want a quiet place to escape from the beachside crowd, you can opt for a beach.
You can find small beaches outside on the beach side by side but I wanted to sample two beaches because I do not need to tell them separately.
The island consists of steep slopes as well as being small. If you have plans to travel by bicycle, I would like you to know this island is not your island. I should say that there is not a picnic area to use with ease even if there are various places for barbecue.
Burgazada(Antigoni)
Let's continue without breaking the order. It is a bit hard to say that it is a seaside part like Kınalıada, but when you walk along the coast you can easily find the small sea entrance areas. You may find it particularly difficult to find a place because of its small size. Behind the island is a wider entrance to the sea.
Kalpazanya
I can say that it is the most beautiful beach and entertainment place of Burgas. It is a place that I believe will satisfy you both as service quality and environment. The beach and the restaurant offers a wide range of services. It can be considered that the person capacity is an advantage for those who go a lot compared to other places.

Camakya Family Beach
A roadside beach. If you spot you can find sunbeds that are not too big and you can get in from the coast
come to the barbecue. Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult to say that there are a designated barbecue and picnic area as it is on other islands. Besides, I must say that they are paying more attention to the barbecue after the big fire. Of course, it is possible to do in small spots, but it is not very accurate to say that Burgazada is the right spot if the main target is the barbecue. Although it is not very related to it, if you want to go to the restaurant and eat, here is what I can call Burgas the right island for him. I will discuss the details of this later.
Heybeliada(Halki)
Heybeliada is one of the greatest islands in the Prince Islands. As a matter of fact, it is an island that hosts many different points. In the previous years, it had a structure consisting of many different things from the Sanatorium to the Naval Academy, from the word of the Isles to the Huseyin Rahmi Gurpinar Lisesi, the only high school of the islands. In Shan, it is not possible to find a majority of them. Well, this is not the issue of this post anyway.
I must say that one of the islands is Heybeli who will be able to barbecue the most easily among the islands. Both because of the wide range of possibilities of the island and the wide area. It is completely forbidden to barbecue in the forest by the back of the island. This is completely prohibited and strictly controlled due to frequent forests and the occurrence of fires (human unconsciousness).
Degirmenburnu
You can find the Degirmenburnu picnic area, which is connected to the Ministry of Forest, 500 meters from the pier. There is also a buffet and beach in this area, which has tables and trellises in the forest. If you want from the buffet you can get empty barbecue or burnt ready barbecue. For the price, I can say that you are going to be paid and that you are at the prices. It also has a restaurant inside. This is the right point if you want to have a picnic. There are small places beside it from other parts of the island but I can not say that it is spacious and comfortable here.

When it comes to the beach, the diversity here is very high.
Ada Beach Club
You can find Ada Beach in the Çam port area from behind Adan. You can start enjoying the beach directly with the free motorized scooters. This is the most luxurious and unique bay of Heybeli. In addition, many wedding organizations are held here in the summer months.

German Cove
The German cove, which is still behind the island, is one of the beautiful places to go, although it is not too big. You will need to walk about an hour's walk for this.
Asaf Family Beach
I do not think it is a nice option in Asaf, which is located at the back of Adan. It provides a moderate service with both the pier and the inside of the kiosk.

Green Beach Club
Sadık Bey beach, one of the oldest beaches of Adan, is located between the beautiful beaches of the island. For those who demand this place, you can reach easily thanks to the free shuttle service from the quay. It offers a service with the competence to respond to every need.

There are so many choices to choose from.
Büyükada(Prinkipos)
Finally came to the largest of the islands. There are lots of alternatives on the Büyükada that we can think of as the center of the islands, but it also brings crowds and chaos. We can always say it's crowded and full. In this sense, I try to explain too much without explaining and entering the narrative.
If you want to barbecue on Büyükada you will be the right choice to go to the Dil Burnu picnic area. This area, which resembles the Değirmenburnu picnic area in Heybeliada, has a structure that allows you to picnic easily. Although it does not have as many options as the Degirmenburnu, if you want to have a picnic it seems to be the place to go.
When we come to the beaches, alternative wideness can confuse our minds.
Yorukali Beach
We can say the biggest facility on the island. It has many actions and advantages in it. Free motor service from the pier is provided for your convenience. I guess if I told you that this is the biggest beach on the island, it will not be too much of an exaggeration.

Prince Bay Beach
This is one of the beaches with a free motorboat on the island. I must say that it is one of the good and quality alternatives. It should be considered as one of the beautiful places of the islands with its pier and service. Not to be too wide but to say that it has an effective structure.
Naki Bey Beach
This is one of the old beach and accommodation areas of Adan. It looks a little different with its narrow tall structure, but it's one of the bad spots. I think it's a good alternative if they have to renew themselves a bit. This is one of the places with free shuttle service. It's a place of entertainment outside of you where you can find all the details from your website to your menu.

Aya Nikola Beach
Small but charming. It's a bit far away, but at the very least there is silence in the crowd. Unfortunately, this is a point that is at least a hope, even if it is decreasing every year. You need to spend some time to get here because it is one of the remaining regions from the back of the island. But if you have the time and do not feel tired, I might suggest to you here.

There may be small places I have jumped out of them. I've been trying to keep you informed as much as I can without reason. I hope it could help and there was an article that answers your questions.
NOTE: The photos I share are photos I found on the internet. None belongs to me. Thank you.
