With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Yalova, 30 miles away, has to offer. Yalova Ferry Terminal, Baris Manco Open Air Theater and Karaca Arboretum alone justify the drive. Located 35 miles away, Adapazari is another popular choice. If you swing by, be sure to check out Sakarya BKM Cultural Center, SF Abasiyanik Park and Earthquake Cultural Museum.
