Its story

Hoynat Island is visible from the shore near the village of Ramazan, beside the Hoynat tunnel. According to Ministry sources, it is the only breeding area in Türkiye of the European shag (tepeli karabatak); gulls and cormorants form colonies on the island. The island has the remains of a castle and a cistern and was declared a second-degree archaeological site in 2004. It is thought to have been used in antiquity as a shelter or depot for sailors.
