With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Iznik, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Lefke Gate, Şeyh Kutbettin Camii and Hagia Sophia Mosque. Located 25 miles away, Adapazari is another popular option. If you visit, be sure to check out Sakarya BKM Cultural Center, SF Abasiyanik Park and Earthquake Cultural Museum.
