Istanbul has many hidden and must-see spots waiting to be discovered by people who want to escape the city's chaos for a while. Located in Çatalca, Çilingoz is one of the best places to camp. Covering an area of 17.75 hectares, it has a long, wide beach on the Black Sea coast. İnceğiz is located in the region where Çatalca was first established about 2500 years ago. In the ninth century, the Genoese carved into the high rocks in three large caves, covered with trees extending to the sky. Elmasburnu has a long beach which is on the edge of the Black Sea and steep cliffs from the hill to the sea. It is the ideal place for spear fishing. The area established on the Ayvat Stream from the branches of Kâğıthane Creek takes its name from the historical bent made in 1765 during the Ottoman era. Aydos Hill and Aydos Forest are unique, oxygen air reservoirs. The Belgrade forests behind Sarıyer occupy an area of 5 thousand 440 hectares, which is the city's lung. Belgrad Forest, which is only 35-45 minutes away by car from the city center, is a fresh, breathable place in Istanbul. Riva, located between Anadolu Feneri and Şile, about 40 kilometers from Istanbul, is another green village of Beykoz. Anadolu Kavağı is a nostalgic fishing village with its unchanging view of nature for years. Kilyos is one of the first places to come to mind for weekend holidays, sea and nature tourism in Istanbul. One of the most attracted places of Şile is Ağva, a seaside town in the middle of Göksu and Yeşilçay streams. Ağva, which has the typical features of the Black Sea, has lush green valleys and dense vegetation.
