Cilingoz Nature Park

Cilingoz Nature Park is a Black Sea beach backed by forest, where a creek runs out to the sand. It feels much wilder than Istanbul's city beaches, with a rougher road approach and a simple outdoorsy mood.

The park is best for a swim, picnic, or short nature escape if you have your own wheels. Beyond here the road becomes difficult, so treat it as the practical end point for a standard car.
