Anyone who loves nature, the sea, and tranquility should join this tour when visiting Istanbul.
Kenji Y.
Our guide was very attentive and polite. However, since we joined the tour on a Sunday, both the roads and the riverfront venues were a bit too crowded.
Mehmet Tarık
Agva felt like medicine after the city noise. The boat tour on the Goksu River was very peaceful.

The vehicles were quite comfortable, and our driver ensured a safe ride. Walking on Agva Beach and getting fresh air washed away the whole week's tiredness.
