The path to the top is very narrow and difficult to navigate with car. The view is really good with seveal nice spots to take a photo. Also here I drank the best lemonade. They served it with mint a slice of lemonade and some ice. It was so tasty

There are windmills, one of the symbols of the island, at the beginning of the places to visit in Cunda Island. Not all are standing, but a few have undergone restoration. The Agios Yannis Church, which was restored by the Koç Family in 1997 and re-functionalized as the Sevim and Necdet City Library, is one of them, made of cut stone and brick, with frescoes belonging to the Christian religion. In fact, this church had a very important collection of canon law in the 17th and 18th centuries, but it was heavily destroyed after the 1924 population exchange because it remained idle. The books in the church-library located in the area called Aşıklar Tepesi were owned by Retired Ambassador Necdet Kent, the father of Muhtar Kent, CEO of The Coca Cola Company. Anyway, all of them were donated to the museum by Muhtar Kent. The walkable area inside is the size of a small, large bedroom. Finally, don't take your car, don't be lazy while climbing the Lovers' Hill, and walk through the antique shops, historical bakeries and narrow cobblestone streets.

It has a nice ambiance. A small church has been turned into a library. You can breathe against the view due to the cafe on the front.

A very nice place that should definitely be visited when visiting the island.

Very short distance by walking out. You burn both what you eat. Especially the library was very authentic.
