Essentials about Burgazada in brief

Those who want to make a trip to the Princes’ Islands, located in front of Istanbul in the Sea of Marmara, can also visit Burgazada, the third largest of the islands. The island received its former name Antigoni from Demetrios I Poliorketes, who built a fortification of the same name in memory of his father Antigonos I Monophthalmos. Burgazada will be familiar especially to readers of the Turkish writer Sait Faik. He is considered the pioneer and founder of the modern Turkish short story and lived on the island for a long time. A museum was established on Burgazada in his honor.
