Tavşan Adası

Tavşan Adası — 'Rabbit Island' — is the smallest of the Princes' Islands in the Sea of Marmara, sitting about 2 km south of Büyükada. You anchor off here rather than tie up to anything, so it's just you, the water, and this tiny uninhabited outcrop with its quietly forgotten feel. It's the southernmost of the island chain and the farthest from Istanbul, which keeps it refreshingly quiet compared to its busier neighbours.
