Sakarya
The city, which takes its name from the Sakarya River, where it was founded, acts as a bridge between Marmara and Black Sea Region. This city, which carries the magnificent nature of the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea, connects Anatolia with Istanbul.
Sakarya attracts attention with its natural beauties. Sapanca Lake, which meets the water needs of the city and provides an escape point from the city, has been the focus of tourists with many activities in and around Lake Sapanca. Lake Sapanca provides the environment for national and international surfing, rowing and sailing competitions.
Acarlar floodplain forest is located in Sakarya and has the distinction of being the largest of its kind in Turkey. This lake, which provides habitat for many endemic plant and animal species and is the breeding and wintering area of migratory birds, is considered as 1st Degree Natural Protected Area. An endemic plant species “Water Violet ” can be found only in Acarlar Lake in Turkey.
Many plateaus in the province are suitable for tourism activities. The rich mineral ground waters in Kuzuluk district have improved the spa tourism. Moreover, Doğançay Waterfall in Maksudiye is used for trekking and trekking with its pristine nature.
Beşköprü, built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, aims to facilitate the transportation between the empire and the eastern provinces. It is a 430 m high bridge. The bridge, which was built in 562, was built because the irregular currents of the Sakarya river had a negative impact on transportation.
In this Sakarya where almost all of the agricultural products of the Marmara region are grown, the culinary culture is very rich. Migrations from the Caucasus and the Balkans and the proximity to the Black Sea region have increased the variety of food. Vegetable dishes, pastries and meat dishes are seen together in a combination of this culinary eye feast and creates a feast for the taste.
