Büyükada, meaning 'big island', is the largest and farthest from Istanbul and is a big day trip.

Aside from the naturally beautiful backdrop - a small hill rising from the cobalt-blue lake and the icy Stratovolcano dominating the Safan Mountain background - the main attraction is the Holy Cross's Cathedral of the 10th century.
This incredibly well-restored cathedral is a rare remnant of the Armenian population in Lake Van. And the honey-colored exterior is adorned with ornate frescoes, and the interior is filled with faded murals. Climb the isolated small hill on the island for the best views of the lake.
