Sapanca day trip from Istanbul by private car
Lake Sapanca and the forest streams of Maşukiye, about two hours east of Istanbul. Your own car and driver for 10 to 12 hours, at your pace.

- Private vehicle and driver for 10–12 hours
- Hotel pickup and return in central Istanbul

Istanbul private tour with driver
Your own car and driver for 8 to 10 hours. Choose the European or the Asian side, and plan the stops around what you want to see.

Riva and the Black Sea by private car
Riva castle and beach on the Black Sea, the green village of Polonezköy and lunch at Anadolu Kavağı.

Bursa and Uludağ by private car
The first Ottoman capital, its covered bazaars and mosques, and the cable car up Uludağ mountain.
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.

Abbiamo trascorso una piacevole giornata facendo tante attività diverse . La più bella in assoluto la funivia! Con un bellissimo panorama della città dopo il tramonto . Ma soprattutto kerim è stato eccezionale ! Visto il nostro inglese un po' scarso,lui pazientemente ha tradotto sul suo telefono ogni spiegazione in italiano per noi e ci ha aiutati in ogni attività ! Anche se abbiamo pranzato un po' tardi , la carne era buonissima ( pranzo incluso nel biglietto ) . Ogni altra attività è a pagamento . Ma ne vale la pena .
