Florya Atatürk Marine Mansion, Presidential house museum in Florya, Turkey
The Florya Atatürk Marine Mansion is a Bauhaus-style house built on the water near Istanbul, reached by a wooden boardwalk from the shore. Inside, rooms and hallways display furniture and belongings arranged as they were during his visits to this coastal retreat.
Istanbul's municipal government hired architect Seyfi Arkan in 1935 to design this seaside home as a retreat for the nation's founder. The building opened during a time of major transformation as Turkey modernized its government and society.
The rooms display clothing, books, and everyday objects that belonged to Atatürk, showing how he spent his time during visits. You can walk through spaces that reveal his habits and interests as he retreated from his official duties.
The museum sits near Florya train station, which is served by local commuter trains from the city center. Wear sturdy shoes when walking the wooden boardwalk, especially on windy days when the structure can feel less stable.
Steel columns driven deep into the seabed support this house, a construction method that was advanced for the 1930s. The founder used this place as his private swimming spot during the final years of his life.
