It takes 35 and 70 minutes to reach Büyükada by boat (ferry) from Bostanci and Sirkeci respectively. Jogging in Büyükada is done along the route of the fayton (horse-drawn carriages). There are two routes you can follow: the shorter one is 5 kilometers long while the long tour is 12 kilometers. The route of short tour is as follows: Iskele Square, Cankaya Avenue, Nizam Road, Dilburni, Yörükali Lunapark and Maden. The long tour can be taken by walking to the southern point of the island and returning. Those who do not wish to walk along with faytons can climb the steep slope behind Büyükada Emniyet Amirligi (Büyükada Security Directorate) and reach Asiklar Yolu (Lovers' Path). Lunapark and Asiklar Tea Garden are the spots where you can have a break along the way.
