Other walks close to Heybeliada.

Sorted by distance from the start of heybeliada: the village, the naval school, the closed seminary. Good for stitching together a longer day.

The car-free island — ferry, wooden mansions, pine forest, and the monastery at the summit.

The slow morning on the Asian side — fish market, a cup of tea, and the water at your left the whole way home.

The sea-walls counterpart to Yedikule — Byzantine sea defences, a working lighthouse, Hagia Sophia from below.

The Armenian and Greek quarter on the south side — fish meyhanes in covered passages, the patriarchates around them.
