It would be wise to check both the schedules and the routes of your transportation means as the travel duration may vary depending on departure points, service provider companies and stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, \u015eehir Hatlar\u0131\u2019s Kabata\u015f-Adalar line stops by Kad\u0131k\u00f6y, K\u0131nal\u0131ada, Burgazada, and Heybeliada. In some trips, ferries stop by Emin\u00f6n\u00fc and Bostanc\u0131 as well. And there\u2019s a ring line called Bostanc\u0131-Adalar Ring Line which departs from Bostanc\u0131 to go K\u0131nal\u0131ada, Burgazada, Heybeliada, and B\u00fcy\u00fckada. Departure schedules may vary on weekdays, weekends, and holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you arrive at the Heybeliada Pier, you can walk to nearby locations such as De\u011firmenburnu. But if you like to go to more distant beaches, you can use electric public transport vehicles or seasonal shuttle buses of the beach facilities. The dates and timetables of shuttle buses may be updated by the facility during the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Directions to Heybeliada beaches via Emin\u00f6n\u00fc, Kad\u0131k\u00f6y, and Bostanc\u0131<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From Emin\u00f6n\u00fc to Heybeliada:<\/strong>\u00a0Some of the \u015eehir Hatlar\u0131\u2019s ferry services to the Princes\u2019 Islands stop by Emin\u00f6n\u00fc. However, instead of going to the pier and waiting there, you should always check the up-to-date timetables beforehand because not every trip arrives at the Emin\u00f6n\u00fc stop. Depending on the season, you might also have the option of taking a private boat departing from Emin\u00f6n\u00fc and Karak\u00f6y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From Kad\u0131k\u00f6y to Heybeliada:<\/strong>\u00a0Kad\u0131k\u00f6y is one of the main stops on the Kabata\u015f-Adalar route. The trips that start from Kad\u0131k\u00f6y usually stop by K\u0131nal\u0131ada and Burgazada before arriving at Heybeliada. There are also some private passenger boats that depart from Kad\u0131k\u00f6y directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From Bostanc\u0131 to Heybeliada:<\/strong>\u00a0One of the most convenient options for those who want to leave from the Asian Side is the Bostanc\u0131-Princes\u2019 Islands ring line. Depending on the direction, the ferry may stop by Heybeliada before or after B\u00fcy\u00fckada. You also have the option to use private passenger boats or beach facilities\u2019 shuttle buses from Bostanc\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you plan your return, it is important not to rely on the final ferry of the day but count on the time you need to take to reach the pier from the beach. Especially on summer weekends, you might see crowded scenes in shuttle boats, electric vehicles and pier entrances. If you don\u2019t want to be dependent on ferry timetables, you may consider taking a water taxi. Launched by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB) in 2021, this service is available 24\/7. Having the capacity of 10 passengers apart from a managing captain and a sailor, these water taxis can be booked on IBB\u2019s official mobile application. They leave from Bostanc\u0131, Maltepe, or Kartal piers to Heybeliada. It is more affordable when you are not the single passenger but with a crowded group\u2014the best option when it\u2019s late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you live in another city, grab your<a href=\"https:\/\/www.turkishairlines.com\/en-tr\/flights\/flights-to-istanbul\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0flight ticket to Istanbul<\/a>\u00a0and go to Bostanc\u0131 from the airport to arrive at one of the islands on the same day.

Officially allowed swimming areas are the shores of various businesses, clubs, and beach facilities. Therefore, an official swimming area doesn\u2019t mean that all services offered there are free of charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De\u011firmenburnu Nature Park Beach\u2019s shore, Heybeliada Water Sports Club\u2019s shore, Ada Beach Club\u2019s shore, and Asaf Beach\u2019s shore are among the places that you can swim in. De\u011firmenburnu is a nature park and beach that welcomes day visitors while Heybeliada Water Sports Club is a sports club that offers services on the basis of membership or guest.

You can arrive there by walking about 15 minutes after you disembark at the pier and turn right. There are also electric vehicles that can take you to De\u011firmenburnu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from a sandy beach, this nature park has a restaurant, a cafe, a mini supermarket, a children\u2019s playground, and gazebos. Entry to the restaurant and cafe areas is free while picnic areas and the beach access are charged separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beach offers sun loungers, umbrellas, showers, and changing cabins. Prices may vary during the season, so check before you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What is the sea of Heybeliada like? Cleanliness, depth and swimming security<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heybeliada\u2019s seawater varies from beach to beach and day to day. Surface water and visibility are affected by the direction of wind, rainfall, currents, sea traffic, and the location of the coast. That\u2019s why we cannot simply describe the island\u2019s seawater \u201calways clean\u201d or \u201cshallow everywhere\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities monitor the water quality in the officially allowed swimming areas by regularly testing the samples. The Ministry of Health\u2019s Swimming Water Monitoring System provides access to analysis results, current status, and any warnings for swimming areas. You can check the most recent analysis of the beach you choose before you go swimming there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The depth of Heybeliada\u2019s beaches is not the same everywhere. At sandy beaches, entry to the sea may be more gradual, while the water deepens more quickly in areas with platforms or rocky sections. Please avoid crossing the boundaries marked by buoys, getting close to boat routes, and always listen to the lifeguards\u2019 warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Heybeliada beach facilities<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1084\" height=\"722\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/heybeliada-drone-shot-istanbul.jpg\" alt=\"A drone shot of Heybeliada\u2019s coastline with boats anchored at the port, residential areas and pine forests\" class=\"wp-image-66103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/heybeliada-drone-shot-istanbul.jpg 1084w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/heybeliada-drone-shot-istanbul-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/heybeliada-drone-shot-istanbul-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/heybeliada-drone-shot-istanbul-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/heybeliada-drone-shot-istanbul-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/heybeliada-drone-shot-istanbul-631x420.jpg 631w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/heybeliada-drone-shot-istanbul-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/heybeliada-drone-shot-istanbul-1068x711.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1084px) 100vw, 1084px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A drone shot of Heybeliada\u2019s coastline with boats anchored at the port, residential areas and pine forests<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prices of private beaches in Heybeliada vary depending on the services offered. Some entrance fees include sun loungers and umbrellas only, but some cover lockers, aqua park, transfer, or different activities. And some facilities may have different pricing for weekdays and weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/share.google\/MsE0cHhW1k88GvmzS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ada Beach Club<\/a>\u00a0is one of the private facilities in the Pine Harbor Bay. On the facility\u2019s official website, it is stated that they offer a restaurant, an activity area and a sports area in addition to the access to the beach. Make sure you check with the facility the most up-to-date price before you visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/Jwg2jKH6WrdEagYC7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Cevahir Aqua Heybeliada<\/a>\u00a0is one of the options that combine a beach and an aqua park. The entrance fee includes sun loungers, umbrellas, lockers, and access to the aqua park. You are not allowed to bring in any food or beverages. They offer free sea transportation service from Bostanc\u0131 and a shuttle bus from Heybeliada. Since the hours and capacity of transportation services may vary, it is better to check the timetable before you go to the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/Kwr5tPfbBPdd53cJ9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Asaf Beach<\/a>\u00a0is one of the options with a private facility, and this beach is among the official swimming areas. As the daily entrance fee, shuttle bus hours and whether you can bring in food &amp; beverages vary depending on the season, please follow the facility\u2019s announcements to avoid inconveniences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/yhdJAxhaUPNkUz2N8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Heybeliada Su Sporlar\u0131 Kul\u00fcb\u00fc<\/a>\u2018s shore (Heybeliada Water Sports Club) is also one of the official swimming areas. However, unlike a regular public beach, this club operates on a membership and guest basis. In addition to resting areas by the sea, this club offers an Olympic-size swimming pool, a training pool, a children\u2019s pool, and various sports facilities. Before you visit the club, you should learn the conditions regarding day use from the club itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Frequently asked questions<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How can I get to Heybeliada\u2019s most popular beaches?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can get to Heybeliada by sea from Kabata\u015f, Kad\u0131k\u00f6y, Bostanc\u0131, and Emin\u00f6n\u00fc (in certain trips). \u015eehir Hatlar\u0131\u2019s Kabata\u015f-Adalar and Bostanc\u0131-Adalar ring lines stop by Heybeliada. And there are private passenger boats whose departure points and hours vary depending on the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you get to the island, you can walk to De\u011firmenburnu. Alternatively, you can use electric vehicles or facility shuttle buses to go to the Pine Harbor Bay, Asaf Beach and more distant shores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Is the entry to the Heybeliada public beach and De\u011firmenburnu Nature Park paid?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no central public beach in Heybeliada like \u201cHeybeliada Public Beach\u201d. However, you can enter the restaurant &amp; cafe areas in De\u011firmenburnu Nature Park for free. And if you like, you can pay to use the picnic area and to access the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Are there any free or affordable beaches in Heybeliada?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some natural shores, except for privately owned areas, may not have a physical entrance gate or fixed fee. However, being free doesn\u2019t mean it is an official swimming area. Aquarium Beach (Akvaryum Koyu) and German Cove (Alman Koyu), for example, are not among the official swimming areas for 2026. For security and water quality reasons, you should always swim in allowed areas only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a more affordable option, you can compare the prices of the beach clubs and those of De\u011firmenburnu picnic &amp; beach services and find out the best match for you. Remember that access to the beach is charged separately from the picnic area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Are there electric vehicles or shuttle boats on the island to go to the Heybeliada beaches?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. You can go to some places like De\u011firmenburnu with electric vehicles. Some private facilities offer shuttle buses or boats from the Heybeliada Pier. Cevahir Aqua announced it would offer shuttle boats from Bostanc\u0131 and shuttle buses in Heybeliada for the 2026 season. Since the shuttle hours change during the season, please always check beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Is the sea around Heybeliada clean, and which coves are shallow and safe for families with children?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the water quality is not always the same, you should check it from the Ministry of Health\u2019s Swimming Water Monitoring System. Even in officially monitored areas, temporary warnings may be issued due to weather or sea conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We cannot describe any Heybeliada beach as totally shallow or risk-free. Depth may change in different parts of the same shore. It is recommended that families with children go for the beaches with safeguards and clearly marked boundaries and that they never leave their children unattended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Do Heybeliada beaches offer sun loungers, umbrellas, showers, changing rooms, and restaurants?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In places with privately owned facilities like De\u011firmenburnu, Ada Beach Club and Cevahir Aqua, you are offered the services of sun loungers, umbrellas, showers, changing rooms and food &amp; beverages. Cevahir Aqua includes lockers and the aqua park in the entrance fee as well. In De\u011firmenburnu, there are also picnic areas, a mini supermarket, a restaurant, a cafe, and a children\u2019s playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s included in the entrance fee and what\u2019s offered change from facility to facility, so you should check beforehand the conditions about booking, transfer, children discount and whether you can bring food &amp; beverages in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A map of the beaches in Heybeliada How to go to Heybeliada beaches?
