If you are not going to stay overnight in the islands, donât forget to take a note of departure times of ships back to the city before leaving the quay building. Ships are less frequent after the night falls, especially in winter. Generally the most frequent line and the one with the latest departure is Islands-Bostancı one. From Bostancı, you can take dolmuÅ or public bus #112 to Taksim in European Side. once in Bostancı quay, cross the street, walk straight ahead, cross the pedestrian passage under the railway, climb up the second stairs on the left. Youâll come across a little square, on the opposite edge of it is where dolmuÅes and buses to Taksim depart. Note that the sea can be rough in spring, autumn and winter, and the islands are sometimes cut off from the outside world when the ferry services are cancelled due to storms and high waves.
