It is possible to swim, lie on a sun lounger and sunbathe without leaving Istanbul. All just a boat ride away. The 500-person private beach operated by Beltur in Büyükada has started to host Istanbulites for a day. Boats departing from Bostancı and Kartal directly to the beach return at the end of the day.
Istanbul, a city with a sea in the middle, now has a private beach. Beltur, which carried the standard of holiday destinations to Büyükada, rented the idle business and opened it to the use of the public. The price of the beach, which will provide high quality service to Istanbulites between 09.00-19.00 until the end of summer, is also affordable. The beach, which costs 95 TL per person on weekdays and 120 TL on weekends, can be used free of charge by children aged 0-7, and with a 7% discount for children aged 12-50. The fee includes transportation, sunbeds and umbrellas. Beltur cafe, which is also on the beach, serves those who come to the beach until 23.30 at the prices of its other establishments. Those who live in the Islands and have Adakart can benefit from the same services with a 20% discount.
THE HOTEL IS ON THE ROAD
Beltur General Manager Cenk Akın, who said that they are not content with just the beach and the cafe, said that they are working to leave a permanent legacy in Istanbul and said, “We are bringing a new living space to the island with our 5 decares of recreation area. In addition, we bring together the fascinating view of Istanbul with the delightful view of Istanbul at the Beltur Cafe, which is established on an area of 200 square meters. In 2023, Beltur Büyükada Hotel with 56 rooms will be put into service. Beltur Restaurant will take place in our hotel with its unique flavors that change every season. Our hotel will serve Istanbulites with its own beach outside Beltur Beach, and a pool other than its pier, and will offer the opportunity to have a holiday without getting away from the city.”
LEASED FROM THE MINISTRY
The venue, which belongs to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, was previously operated by Kartal Municipality. Beltur leased the area from the ministry for 20 years. The pier, which was about to rot due to neglect, was renovated. A platform was created where 350 people can swim at the same time, lie on the sun lounger and sunbathe. The cafe was renovated in Beltur quality and started to serve. Hotel construction continues.
