What you see

Lake Sapanca, with cafés and walking paths on the shore. Maşukiye, a green valley with streams, waterfalls and riverside restaurants. On the way you can stop at a Turkish delight shop or a viewpoint.

Optional activities such as ATV rides, the giant swing and the zipline are paid on the spot.

Why go by private car

You leave when you want and stop where you like. It suits families with children, couples and anyone who prefers not to join a group bus. The price is for the whole vehicle, so a family of six pays the same as a couple.

Good to know

Sapanca is also spelled Sapanja or Sabanca, and Maşukiye is often written Masukiye or Mashukiye.
