The second-largest of the Princes' Islands, with pine forests and the old buildings of the Theological School and the Naval Academy.

Safety warning

Because of the forest fire risk, do not light fires or smoke.

Its story

Known as Halki in the Byzantine period, the island takes its name from the dip between its two hills, which resembles a saddlebag (heybe). On the island are the 19th-century Theological School (Ruhban Okulu), the Naval Academy buildings and many wooden mansions. Its pine-covered hills are suitable for hiking and cycling routes. The house of Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar is also preserved on the island as a house museum.
