Sait Faik Abasiyanik, the great writer who dedicated himself to Darüşşafaka's mission and bequeathed his assets and copyrights to his books to the Society, is a pioneer in modern Turkish story-writing. Sait Faik Abasiyanik's museum house in Burgaz Island (Burgazada) where he lived and wrote many of his stories, was renewed and reopened for its visitors by Darüşşafaka Society. Sait Faik Abasiyanik Museum, exhibiting Sait Faik's belongings, manuscripts, letters, photographs, and many other objects and documents which carry the traces of his memories, was opened to the public for the first time on August 22, 1959. The museum is maintained by Darüşşafaka Society since 1964, and is one of the most visited museum houses of Turkey since the day it was opened. After the completion of restoration and conservation works which had been carried out since 2010 by Darüşşafaka, the museum was reopened to its visitors on May 11, 2013 with its brand new look, restored and renewed with a contemporary museology approach. The museum, which takes Sait Faik's readers to a fascinating journey to his literary and spiritual world, is open to the public free of charge upon the writer's bequest. We invite Sait Faik lovers and everyone who would like to discover his world, to Sait Faik Abasiyanik Museum.

It was an amazing experience for me, especially to see Mr. Abasiyanik’s handwriting, was totally amazing. We tried to understand the culture and the language of him. You can see many photos about his life.

The seminary is located on the site of the Monastery of the Holy Trinity, founded by Patriarch Photius I almost a thousand years before the foundation of the theological school. In 1844, Patriarch Germanos IV converted the monastery into a school of theology, which was inaugurated on 1 October 1844. The facilities include the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, dormitories and the school's library.

One of the inhabited Princes' Islands where cars are not allowed and Istanbul residents maintain their summer homes.

We live in Istanbul and we regularly go to the islands thru summer and winter (when not rainy). All Istanbul islands are beautiful, namely more beautiful than each other but we prefer Kınalıada because it is less busy, more silent, calmer and more natural. Especially the rear part of the island is so nice. There is a small place we hang in where you can use sunbeds, eat and drink and the prices are ok, too. It also makes us feel good when the circulate the island fully by walking as we breath the sea weather.
