With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Iznik, 40 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Lefke Gate, Şeyh Kutbettin Camii and Hagia Sophia Mosque. Akcakoca is another wonderful option. It’s 45 miles away and boasts a range of awesome things to do. Genoese Castle, Akcakoca Central Mosque and Castle Beach are only the start.
