TOUR ITINERARY

Sile & Agva Day Tour

Your adventure begins when our comfortable, air-conditioned coach arrives at your hotel lobby. As you settle in with a bottle of water, we cross the Bosphorus Bridge and head straight to Çamlıca Tower, where a quick elevator ride delivers you to a 360° viewing platform overlooking Istanbul’s skyline and waterways. From there, we glide past the entrance of the Istanbul Zoo—you’re welcome to hop off for a short extra-fee visit, or stay aboard and hear engaging stories about Turkey’s wildlife conservation.

Next, a gentle walk through fragrant pine woods leads to a hidden spring-fed lake in Şile, perfect for dipping your toes and enjoying the fresh forest air. For those craving excitement, an optional ATV or UTV ride takes you on a 30–45 minute off-road journey along winding trails and gentle dunes—helmets and safety gear included.

Midday brings a relaxed Turkish lunch at a local Şile restaurant, featuring hot mezes, crisp salads, and your choice of grilled fish or kebab, all rounded off with traditional tea or coffee. In the afternoon, you’ll drift down the Göksu River aboard a charming wooden boat, spotting kingfishers and herons as you glide past lush riverbanks. Finally, we arrive at Agva’s sandy Black Sea shore for free time to swim, sunbathe, or explore cozy seaside cafés and shops.

As evening approaches, we return you to Istanbul, dropping you off at your hotel with plenty of memories from a day filled with panoramic views, hidden natural gems, and light-hearted thrills.

P.S.: Pick-up and drop-off times may change according to your hotel location and traffic.

    Black sea has very different flora. Green is greener blue is darker. And ofcourse absolutely untouched nature if you compare to Istanbul. Specialy we loved goksu river. And the restaurant we had had lunch. So quite so peaceful and so delicious. Thanks to this agency for different recommendations than the others.
