If you’re after a day-trip destination, we know just the place. Located 17 miles away, Adapazari is worth getting in the car for. Among the first stops you make here should be Sakarya BKM Cultural Center, SF Abasiyanik Park and Earthquake Cultural Museum. Locals are also likely to point you toward Akcakoca, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Genoese Castle. (But we’re also big fans of Akcakoca Central Mosque and Castle Beach.)
