Take a short break from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul and explore the Turkish countryside. Your local driver will pick you up from your accommodation and you will set out for a pleasant trip in a private vehicle.

This trip is all about getting in touch with nature so your driver will make sure that you experience the Turkish countryside at its fullest. If the weather permits it you will visit Ormanya Park. Your next stop will be at Maşukiye, a small village located on the side of Sapanca Lake. Have lunch at one of the local restaurants while you are listening to the gentle sound of running water, the rustling of leaves and the light breeze. A cable car ride to Kartepe Ski Resort is a must to enjoy the snowy scenery.

Our drivers are not licensed tour guides but are very knowledgeable of the places visited and will provide historical information and their local perspective.

At the end of the tour, your friendly driver will drop you off at your accommodation in Istanbul.
