Tavşan Islet is a small, uninhabited island just a few hundred meters from Amasra's harbor, easily reached by local boat tours. The islet's rugged, rocky terrain is covered with low shrubs and grasses, providing a haven for seabirds and offering visitors a chance to experience the Black Sea's natural beauty up close. Boat trips typically circle the islet, allowing passengers to view its cliffs, sea caves, and the clear waters ideal for swimming. The islet's name, meaning 'Rabbit Island,' hints at its former inhabitants, though today it is a peaceful escape from the town's bustle.
Don't miss
- Take a boat tour around the islet to see sea caves and nesting seabirds
- Swim in the clear, calm waters off the islet's rocky shore
- Enjoy a picnic on the islet's grassy patches while watching ships pass
