Florya Atatürk Marine Mansion

The Marine Mansion extends 70 meters into the Sea of Marmara, connected to the mainland by a wooden boardwalk spanning across the water.

The Istanbul Municipality commissioned architect Seyfi Arkan to design this summer residence for Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, completing construction in August 1935.

The mansion displays personal items, photographs, and furnishings that belonged to Atatürk, illustrating his daily activities during his stays at this coastal retreat.

Visitors can reach the mansion by taking a commuter train to Florya station, located 500 meters from the museum entrance.

Steel columns driven into the seabed support this Bauhaus-style structure, which served as Atatürk's private swimming location during his final three years.
