Sile has been a fishing community since 700 BC, and it has also served as a lighthouse since the Ottoman Empire.
Sue is now a beach resort popular with tourists seeking a resort feel without incurring the price of travelling to the Mediterranean Sea.
The 150-year-old Sile lighthouse is the largest in Turkey and the second largest in the world, and it is a must-see.
Sile and Agva day excursion from Istanbul is perfect for nature lovers.
Spend the day seeing the Turkish coast on a 13-hour small-group excursion from Istanbul to Sile and Agva, which includes a picturesque boat ride along the Goksu River.
Leave the metropolis in favour of fishing ports and sandy beaches, and take time to explore beachside cafés and old harbours.
Experience the resort ambience of Istanbul’s Black Sea shoreline and small-town life at its most peaceful.
Bridge of the Bopshorus
Our Black Sea tour begins with a hotel pickup and continues via Europe to Asia through the second Bosphorus Bridge, all the way to Sue.
We left Sile behind and headed to Agva, passing through classic Black Sea towns where you feel far removed from the crowds of Istanbul.
The scenic road past these settlements gets shortly to Agva which means “the place between two rivers”.
Agva: The Forgotten Paradise
Agva is another major Black Sea coast location, a global paradise where nature exhibits all of its skills…
When we arrive, we’ll take a boat trip down the Göksu River while your lunch is served at a wonderful riverside restaurant.
Following lunch, you may either rest by the river or cool off on one of Turkey’s most fascinating beaches, where pine trees meet crystal blue Black Sea water.
It’s time to forget about yourself and become immersed in nature.
On our trip back to Istanbul before the sun sets, you will have the opportunity to witness a genuine “Sile Bezi” collection.
