Full-day Sapanca Private Tour in Istanbul, Türkiye

Spend a day in the peaceful surroundings outside of Istanbul! Discover a popular weekend getaway destination on a day trip to Lake Sapanca and the village of Masukiye in the Gulf of Izmit. Lake Sapanca is one of the most famous lakes in Turkey. It is picturesque, tranquil, and romantic and is just what you need when you need a break from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul. You will appreciate the fresh air and lovely water views to soothe your thoughts.

The village of Masukiye has an exceptionally cozy atmosphere because of the nearby river and waterfalls. Along the river, you will find very compact hiking areas, viewing platforms, cafes, and bridges — all framed by beautiful greenery. This ambiance makes Masukiye the best place for a stroll with family, friends, or your loved one — Masukiye gets its name from the Turkish word for love, "aşk," for a good reason. After the walk, enjoy a quiet lunch under the shade of trees and climb Kartepe Mountain.
