Description

Bahariye Islands are close to some of the touristic attractions of Istanbul. The islands host dozens of domestic rabbits. Because of its inner location in the Golden Horn, the water is always calm and birds hang around the island. (Κοινή) Φαλαρίδα Σταχτοτσικνιάς and Λαγγόνα are some of common species in the area.
