Daily Sapanca and Maşukiye Tour from Istanbul, Lunch Included
If you want to escape the noise of Istanbul for a day and explore the Marmara region's most beloved nature route in a single day, this tour picks you up from your hotel and drops you back in the evening. You'll enjoy free time at Lake Sapanca, where you can stroll along the shore, sip a coffee, or take photos. Those who wish can head to the optional activity area for zip-lining, ATV safari, or the giant swing. Lunch is served at a riverside restaurant, after which free time begins in Maşukiye, also known as the Village of Love. The day's finale is the Kartepe Glass Terrace: walk on a transparent platform and take in a panoramic view of the forest and Lake Sapanca from above. Before returning, a final stop is made at the local market for shopping Turkish delight, honey, jam, and souvenirs.
