What is there to do in Maşukiye and Kartepe?
The area makes it easy to fit several activities into a short break. In winter, people visit the Kartepe ski centre for skiing, snowboarding and sledging. When there is no snow, you can go on an ATV safari along forest tracks, ride horses at the farms and try rope courses and ziplines at the adventure parks. A walk to Maşukiye Waterfall, a rest by the stream and a view of Sapanca Lake from higher ground can be added to your plans in any season.
Which activity in which season?
The ski season depends on snowfall and generally covers the winter months. Spring is when the waterfall is at its fullest, and autumn is when the forest colours are brightest. In summer, the cool forest air suits walking and outdoor activities. Dirt tracks can be muddy on rainy days.

- Whether a helmet and protective gear are included in the price
- The length of the tour and the difficulty of the route
- The operator's insurance and safety practices
