A secret paradise from Turkey. Sapanca..

During the way, trees and birds greet you and mountains loom with its all glory. With arriving, a great scene says welcome to you. A beautiful lake comes from hillsides. I talk about Sapanca.



That's a small municipality is famous with its lake. Tourism is the most important means of existence in Sapanca. So you will find everything must exist in a holiday spot.



Sapanca is near Kocaeli, the neighbour city of Istanbul. You can use your vehicle or train or bus to come here.

Don't worry about accomodation. Just arriving Sapanca, you will see hotels (also five star hotels), boutique hotels, motels..

If you begin a walk, you will encounter sweet restaurants with decent stuffs. Try a breakfast on the lake or a branch among flowers..



After branch, maybe you will want some recreational activities as nature walking, tracking. Natural beauties are waiting for you. Forests, brooks, waterfalls and more...




Sapanca.. A secret paradise from Turkey is waiting for you with all of its beauty. You should come and see...
