class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b><strong>Surp Krikor Lusavoric Armenian Church<\/strong><\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Armenian Church of Surp Krikor Lusarovic is dedicated to Saint Gregory the Illuminator. Established in 1857 on Nar\u00e7i\u00e7e\u011fi Street, it is the first and only Armenian Gregorian church in the Adalar district. There are wonderful examples of Armenian stone carving on the inner walls of the church. Adjacent to the church is the summer residence of the Patriarchate. The building was donated by the G\u00fclbenkyan Foundation. The Karag\u00f6zyan Orphanage currently serves as a rest home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b><strong>Hristos Monastery, Hristos Hill<\/strong><\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Situated on Hristos Hill with views of a breathtaking landscape, Hristos Church was the final resting place of Emperor Leo V, killed in a battle at the Hagia Irene Church in 820. The Hristos Monastery was used as an orphanage during the early 20th century and became a military headquarters during the First World War. It hosted White Russians during the Russian Revolution of 1917.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With its wonderful views and lush greenery, the hill is a perfect setting for a picnic.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b><strong>Sikaryan Twin Houses<\/strong><\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sikaryan Houses, among K\u0131nal\u0131ada\u2019s most elegant structures, are two three-story wooden mansions. The spacious 11-room buildings were designed by architect Avedisyan Kalfa and belong to the Sikaryan Family, residents of the Island. The mansions on Faz\u0131l Ahmet Ayka\u00e7 Street are also worth a visit.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b><strong>K\u0131nal\u0131ada Mosque<\/strong><\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 1950s, a mosque was planned for K\u0131nal\u0131ada to accommodate the Island\u2019s expanding Turkish Muslim population. Accordingly, it was decided to dismantle the Karak\u00f6y Mosque and move it to K\u0131nal\u0131ada. However, the ship carrying the mosque overturned in the Bosphorus and the pieces of the mosque sank in the water. A few years later, the K\u0131nal\u0131ada Mosque, built in 1964 with the support of the people of K\u0131nal\u0131ada, was finally opened for worship. This mosque, with a triangular form ceiling and an independent minaret, is an unusual structure and one of the top places to visit in K\u0131nal\u0131ada.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-css-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b><strong><strong>Dining in K\u0131nal\u0131ada<\/strong><\/strong><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"784\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sorbe-dondurma.jpg\" alt=\"Ye\u015fil Roma Ice Cream Shop of K\u0131nal\u0131ada is famous for its' ice cream.\" class=\"wp-image-30546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sorbe-dondurma.jpg 784w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sorbe-dondurma-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sorbe-dondurma-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sorbe-dondurma-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sorbe-dondurma-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sorbe-dondurma-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no single answer to the question of what to eat in K\u0131nal\u0131ada. Like the other \u0130stanbul islands, K\u0131nal\u0131ada has wonderful waterfront restaurants that serve seafood and Turkish mezes.&nbsp; too. If you arrive in the morning, you can enjoy the delicious breakfast offerings at Bahar Patisserie, which is also a good place for tea and dessert.
