Pigeon Island

Pigeon Island

The tiny Güvercin Adasi (Pigeon Island) in the bay of Kusadasi, Turkey is connected to the mainland with a causeway. Its romantic setting includes a well-maintained flower garden which surrounds the restored tower which is all that remains of a 13th century Byzantine castle known as “Pirate Castle”. The wall around the island dates only from the early 19th century.
