Avsa

Buses leave from Avşa's main square in town and travel around the island, there are also a couple of dolmuş operators, kind of a cross between a taxi and a minibus. These follow particular routes around the island.

It is possible to walk around the island but it's a good stretch of the legs and not for the unfit. If you do walk, make sure you take water with you — some parts of the island are very rural and you won't see another person for miles or hours.

Cycling is also an option, but please bear in mind that Turks tend to see road safety laws as an optional hindrance rather than a hard rule.

You can take a scooter or car on the ferry if you want, the roads are variable. Unfortunately the government in power is not providing enough money to the municipality to maintain all of the roads, although there has been a programme of improvement over the past few years.
