Things to Do

Dragos Burnu (Headland) ViewMust Do

The rocky promontory at the very end of Dragos gives a spectacular panorama of the Marmara Sea, all five Princes' Islands, and the Asian shore stretching in both directions.

Dragos Burnu, Kartal

Best on clear winter days when visibility can extend to the Marmara islands and beyond. Summer haze reduces the view.

Local Tips

·Dragos is best reached by taxi from Kartal metro. No direct public transport to the headland.
·Primarily worth visiting for the view — there's not much else in the immediate area.
·Combine with Kartal waterfront (a short drive away) for a fuller visit to this part of the city.
·Clear autumn and winter days give the best visibility — go early morning for clean air.
