Istanbul is a beautiful city of many sights and sounds. But the Black Sea
coast offers landscapes at least as interesting and spectacular as those
found in the city. They are right there waiting to be discovered.
Heading northeast of Istanbul on the Anatolian side, we will arrive in Sile,
a small Black Sea fishing town situated on rocks. Known for it’s sandy beaches
and famous ‘Sile bezi’, an open-weave cotton fabric, it is the perfect first
stop for our tour. Once a port of call for ships sailing east from the Bosphorus,
enjoy a stroll along the fishing harbor or relax with a tea at the hilltop
cafe overlooking the Sile lighthouse.
On the way to Ağva we come across picturesque traditional Turkish villages
like Kabakoz and Suaybli where time seems to have stood still. So near to
Istanbul distance-wise, yet so far in their way of life. Experience the
friendless and curiosity of these villagers.
Continuing along the coastal route we arrive in Ağva, deep in nature and
situated between the Yeşilçay and Göksu rivers that flow into the Black
Sea.
Upon arrival you will find peace in a leisurely a boat ride down the Göksu
river. Set in a landscape so green and rich, bask in the sights of Ağva.
After taking in a magnificent view overlooking the sea and bluffs, we will
break for lunch where you may dine on the local fish.
Next you will have a choice to truly unwind in the beauty of the Black Sea
region by either relaxing along the Göksu river, or on one of Ağva’s sandy
beaches. Surrounded by forest and cliffs, the fresh, blue green waters of
the sea are calling you. Get lost in nature. We will take the forest route
on our return trip. Because of it’s mild, damp climate, this region is heavily
forested, and here is where we make our final stop. Relaxed with a tea as
you sway in a hammock at a forest cafe. A perfect ending to a day rich in
nature.
We will depart from this final destination to return back to Istanbul fully
rejuvenated.
