The Galatasaray Islet (Turkish: Galatasaray Adası) is a small island on the Bosphorus strait off Kuruçeşme neighbourhood in Istanbul, Turkey, partially owned by Galatasaray Sports Club.
Being situated just north of the Bosphorus Bridge, it's only accessible to Galatasaray members and their guests. Only 165 m (541 ft) from the European coast, the islet is reachable by free ferry service.
From Autumn 2002 to July 2007 Galatasaray Islet has undergone massive construction works, resulting in its transformation into the entertainment and recreation centre that is now serving the
Galatasaray community and Istanbul. That same year the constructions had been finished, on 4 October 2007, a fire broke out in a kitchen chimney and burnt down two restaurants and damaged four other premises on the islet.
