Thanks to the archive of the Marküs family, which has been coming to Burgaz island every summer since 1955, consisting of a total of 60 photographs, it was as if I got on a time machine and teleported to the Burgaz island of the past and became a part of the life of this beautiful family. I present to your attention this archive, which sheds light on the history of Burgaz island, which I shared on social media during the summer and autumn seasons, together with the notes I took on it. I would like to thank Yael Allevici (Eti Marküs's daughter) who contacted me and informed me about the family during this process. In addition, I would like to thank each and every one of the Marküs/Menase family, who are not at all bothered by my posts and having the photos, and are happy for their contribution to the Burgaz island archive. #01 Eti Marküs estimated 10 years old 1967. #02 Taken from the building at 10 Gönüllü Street, where the Marküs family lives.
