Sile & Agva Day Tour – Detailed Itinerary
07:45 – 09:00 AM | Hotel Pickup
We’ll collect you in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach from your Istanbul hotel lobby. Your guide will greet you on board, hand out bottled water, and give a quick overview of the day as we cross the Bosphorus Bridge to the Asian shore.
09:30 AM | Camlıca Tower Panoramic View
At Çamlıca Tower, you’ll ride the elevator up to the observation deck and enjoy 360° views of Istanbul’s skyline, the Golden Horn, and both the European and Asian sides. Spend 10–15 minutes here snapping photos and learning about the city’s key landmarks from your guide.
10:30 AM | Istanbul Zoo (Optional)
We’ll drive past the zoo entrance—if you’d like to go in, there’s a small additional fee for about 45 minutes of animal watching. Otherwise, stay on the coach and relax as your guide shares fun facts about Turkey’s wildlife conservation efforts.
12:00 PM | Hidden Lake in Sile
A short, easy walk through fragrant pine forest brings you to a clear, spring-fed lake tucked away in the hills. You’ll have time to dip your toes in the cool water, breathe the fresh air, and admire the peaceful surroundings.
01:00 PM | ATV/UTV Safari (Optional)
Thrill-seekers can hop onto an ATV or UTV for a 30–45 minute off-road adventure on forest trails and gentle dunes. All helmets and safety gear are provided, and a quick safety briefing ensures everyone stays secure on the ride.
02:30 PM | Lunch
Enjoy a relaxed meal at a local Şile restaurant, featuring hot mezes, fresh salads, and your choice of grilled fish or kebab. Turkish tea or coffee finishes the meal perfectly, with vegetarian and child-friendly options available.
04:00 PM | Goksu River Boat Cruise (Optional)
Board a traditional wooden boat for a calm 30-minute cruise along the Göksu River. Look out for kingfishers and herons as you float past small villages and lush riverbanks—an ideal chance for nature photos.
05:00 PM | Free Time on Agva Beach
Arriving at the Black Sea shore, you’ll have about two hours to swim, sunbathe, or stroll among seaside cafés and shops. Rent a sun lounger or simply relax on the warm sand.
~07:00 – 09:00 PM | Return to Istanbul
We’ll regroup and head back to Istanbul, dropping you off at your hotel between 7:00 and 9:00 PM (traffic dependent). During the drive, your guide can replay the day’s highlights and answer any final questions.
