Sile Agva Tour
SHILE-AGVA TOUR
Places to Visit
*Shile
*Historical Lighthouse
*Agva
*Goksu River
Our pleasant journey begins in the morning, with a breakfast break along the route to energize us for the day ahead. After breakfast, we head towards Shile, a place that offers a tranquil atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul, where we can spend time in harmony with nature.
Shile, one of the rare areas that still maintains its green nature, greets us with its cool breezes, clean air, and breathtaking views. Our first stop is the Shile Lighthouse, built in 1859 on the Black Sea shores, which is Turkey's largest and the second largest lighthouse in the world. We take in the expansive blue of the Black Sea from the point where the lighthouse is located and capture memories with photos.
After sipping tea or coffee with this unique view, we head towards Agva, another natural wonder. Surrounded by lush forests and azure waters, Agva is nestled between the Goksu and Yesilcay rivers, resembling a hidden paradise. With its tranquility, peace, and natural beauty, Agva is an ideal escape for those looking to distance themselves from the intensity of city life.
Upon our arrival in Agva, we invite guests who wish to join us for an extra boat tour on the Goksu River. During this boat tour, as we move along the river, we get the chance to discover the tranquility that nature offers and explore a different, nature-oriented face of Istanbul. Accompanied by the sounds of birds, we feel time slowing down, blending with the soothing sounds of the water during this delightful tour.
After the boat tour and our exploration, we take a short walk through the streets of Agva and have free time to explore the surroundings, take photos, and shop for local products. At the end of this unforgettable journey in harmony with nature, we begin our return journey with beautiful memories captured in our minds. We look forward to seeing you on the next Kyzikos Travel tour...
