After picking up our guests from the designated stops in the morning, we set off toward Maşukiye. After a pleasant journey, we begin the day with a rich mixed breakfast at a facility our guide deems appropriate and take our first step on our tour. Maşukiye is a peaceful nature spot located in the east of Kocaeli, extending between the Samanlı Mountains and the foothills of Kartepe, standing out with its proximity to the shore of Sapanca Lake, its streams, waterfalls, valleys, and fruit orchards. Known for its serene and spacious atmosphere surrounded by nature, this special region is home to many tree and plant species. Guests who wish may enjoy extra activities here such as ATV, zipline, and similar options. Then, accompanied by postcard-like views, we head up the Kartepe road and reach the facility area at an altitude of 1500 meters on Kartepe, the second highest mountain in the Marmara Region, rising up to 1700 meters. During the free time given in the hotel area, our guests who wish may relax, while those who want can enjoy skiing. At the end of the day, we return to Istanbul and bid farewell to our valued guests, with the hope of seeing you again on another tour.
