Guide
Only a small part of the monastery on this island survives. The Greeks called it the monastery of Ayia Paraskevi, the Turks Taşlı Manastır — the stone monastery — and the island itself is called Tımarhane Adası because in earlier times it was used as a centre for the treatment of the mind.
The island lies opposite Çamlik bay at Ayvalık, at the end of the peninsula below the Şeytan Sofrası, and it commands a panorama over Cunda island, Tavuk island and the bay. Its oddly formed rocks and that view are as much of the interest as the ruin. The source describes the shore it faces as reachable by city transport, but says nothing about crossing to the island.
