Şile and Ağva Full Day Tour From Istanbul

Sile & Agva

This tour takes you from the busy streets of Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey. When you have been picked from your hotel you will drive from the European side to the Asian via the Bosphorus Bridge. Once out of the city you will visit the Small fishing city of Sile and the stunning natural space between the rivers Goksu and Yesilcay known as Agva.

While in the region you will take a relaxing river cruise along the Yesilcay river, which will allow you to see some of the stunning natural views and wildlife that can only be found in rural areas. Lunch will be locally caught fish and locally farmed fresh fruit, veg and meats. While touring you will visit a traditional small fishing village. Here you will learn about local fishing directly from the master fishermen and women, whose techniques have been passed down from one generation to another.

After your day of experiencing the natural area, meeting locals and enjoying their traditional food you will be taken back to your hotel.

Sile

This small fishing city has had many visitors for its natural beauty, while here many of them experienced man-made beauty and its rich history. While the city is famous for its splendour, it became popular across Turkey and to a small amount the world due to its unique cloth that is made here. This cloth is an open weave fabric, thanks to its lightweight and cool properties. In the warmer months, the long stretch of beaches become a great destination for tourists across the world.

Agva

Agva is an area between Yesilcay River and Goksu River, this where the name came from as Agva means ‘between two rivers’. There are only small amounts of man-made structures to maintain the peacefulness of the forested regions and the beautiful beaches that are dotted all around. Yesilcay river is a popular spot for fishing due to the variety and because the restaurant feeds them which keeps them close.
