IceCreamonBüyükada:SeasonalFlavoursandIslandVibes
Summer on Büyükada means ice cream. When you step off the ferry on a hot day and start exploring the island, an ice cream stop is practically mandatory. Where to eat ice cream on Büyükada? At the open-air tables on Çınar Square, right next to specialty coffee.
Ice Cream Culture on Büyükada
The Princes' Islands have a long ice cream tradition. In summer, ice cream isn't just a dessert — it's a natural part of the island day. Between a waterfront walk, after Aya Yorgi, while waiting for the ferry — that's how Büyükada's summer rhythm takes shape.
At Julius Büyükada, ice cream is served in seasonally changing flavours. Quality ingredients and careful preparation make the Büyükada ice cream experience stand apart.
Seasonal Flavours
Ice cream flavours at Julius change with the seasons. Summer brings mango, strawberry and peach. Classic vanilla and chocolate are available year-round. Seasonal fruit flavours are only offered when the fruit is at its freshest — meaning a different discovery each visit.
Ice Cream and Coffee Pairing
Cold brew and ice cream is the most popular summer pairing — cold brew's smooth profile accompanies ice cream's creamy texture. Affogato — espresso poured over a scoop of vanilla ice cream — brings ice cream and coffee together in one cup. More pairings: Dessert & Coffee Pairing
