Anthea Butik Otel

Forty minutes by ferry from Istanbul's Eminönü pier, Anthea Butik Otel sits on Lalahatun Sokak in the Nizam quarter of Büyükada — the largest of the Princes' Islands, where motor vehicles are banned and horse-drawn carriages handle transport. A quiet retreat for couples and families unwilling to trade island calm for city convenience.

Breakfast is included each morning; free Wi-Fi covers the property, and family rooms accommodate groups traveling together. Check-in opens at 14:00 with check-out at noon.

Büyükada's pine-forested hills and late-Ottoman timber mansions are reachable on foot or by rented bicycle from the door. The waterfront and the island's main square lie a short walk downhill from Lalahatun Sokak.
