Get away from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul and explore a well-loved  getaway not far from the city. Take in the beauty of the serene Sapanca Lake nestled between Izmit Bay and Adapazari Meadow. Delight in a leisurely lunch beneath a lush canopy of trees near a cascading waterfall. Stroll around the tranquil Sapanca Lake, and immerse yourself in the charm of the idyllic village of Masukiye. If you visit during the summer, don’t miss the chance to drive up to Kartepe Mountain, a favored spot for picnics, or in the winter, it transforms into a popular ski resort
