Florya Atatürk Marine Mansion
A historic presidential retreat built over the Sea of Marmara, once used by Atatürk. Now a museum open to visitors.
Florya Atatürk Marine Mansion is a historic presidential residence built offshore in the Sea of Marmara, in Istanbul's Bakırköy district. Today it operates as a museum, preserving the atmosphere of its era with period furnishings and photographs.
The unique position above the water offers sweeping sea views and a quiet break from the city. It remains a simple but thoughtful stop for anyone interested in the early Republic period.
“To step inside a presidential retreat that floats above the Marmara Sea, frozen in its original state.”
After the mansion, walk along Florya Sahil Yolu and grab a midye dolma from a street cart.
The mansion is reached via a wooden pier and has stairs at the entrance; not fully wheelchair accessible.
