We have planned the Istanbul Black Sea tour with only one thing in mind: your exposure to a city that is rich in history. Hence, we arranged for you to visit all of the historically important places in the tour along in our route.

• POLONEZKÖY VILLAGE

This small village, also known as Adampol, was founded in 1842 as a camp-base for the Polish people escaping the Nazi invasion. At the beginning, the place accommodated as low as 12 people, but over the time, it has a population of 1000 people. Here, you can see how Istanbul maintained a good relation with other nations in the world. In fact, stepping into the village feels like you have been transported back in time to another era when Istanbul was still being emerging as a place that hosted people from different races and backgrounds. Besides the local church and the famous Polish cemetery where a lot of famous people laid their souls in, the Polonezköy village also hosts an annual summer festival celebrating the tie between Istanbul and Poland, of whom notable names include the famous poet Nazim Hikmet have attended.

• AĞVA VILLAGE

The Ağva village is one of the most idyllic spots in Turkey. In fact, to call it picture perfect is most apt. The Istanbul Black Sea tour included this spot precisely for this reason. Another reason, is the fact that it is the aptest location for the start of the boat ride. Located between Göksu River in the west and Yeşilçay river in the east, the term Ağva means “between the rivers”. The village of Ağva has strong ties to ancient Turkey and was a part of ancient Bythinia at some point. The place gained prominence in recent years due to its picturesque location and is now frequented by tourists all year long. The place is also famous for its weaving of şile cloth, a famous Turkish product.

• BOAT TRIP

The boat trip around Ağva is guaranteed to be one of the most memorable sea trips in your life. The place’s reputation comes from the beautiful forests on both of its sides with many attractions to see. It even has strong ties to ancient Turkey and currently hosts the Yeşilçay water plant, a major urban water distribution plant in Turkey. The place was chosen as part of the Istanbul Black Sea tour to let the visitors know how beautiful Istanbul can be both on the sea and the shore. You will also be treated to a luxury lunch while on-cruising.
