Breathtaking Kilimli Nature Trail in Ağva-Canal Boat Ride

Escape the city and reconnect with nature on the breathtaking Kilimli Nature Trail in Ağva—a hidden gem just a short trip from Istanbul!
This unforgettable 5 km scenic route begins with a peaceful riverside walk and a charming boat ride across the serene Yeşilçay River, instantly transporting you to a world of tranquility. The trail unfolds along dramatic rocky shores that merge into the vast, soul-stirring beauty of the Black Sea. Along the way, you’ll explore natural stone bridges, majestic rock formations, serene mini bays, and panoramic cliffside viewpoints that are a feast for the eyes and soul.

This easy-rated route takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to complete and is perfect for all nature lovers, regardless of hiking experience. You’ll walk on soft beach sands, lush grassy paths, and shaded forest trails while soaking in the fresh sea breeze and soothing sounds of nature. The region carries whispers of ancient civilizations—Roman, Hittite, Phrygian, and Ottoman—inviting you to journey not only through nature, but through layers of time and history.

We’ll start our day with an hearty village-style breakfast in a cozy wooden house (extra), followed by a beach walk to the historic lighthouses. After the trail, enjoy a relaxing boat ride along the beautiful Göksu River and indulge in a delicious meal at a charming riverside restaurant.
