Our destination

Weekend 08/6/2024 10:00 AM Event: (Saturday) – Arrival to Waterfall 12:00AM (120 min)

This weekend we are going to go to Doğançay (waterfall) which is one of the most beautiful waterfalls near Istanbul. Since the weather will be hot on weekend then hiking and swimming in a waterfall like this would be a great combination. Right after our hiking and swimming in the waterfall, we’ll be heading to the mountains to have a great view, fresh oxygen and lots of green around us.

The waterfall has a very beautiful natural pool where you can swim, Make sure you bring your swimming clothes, towel and extra clothes.

After we reach to the camping spot in the mountain, we will rest for the first day, plan a hiking next day after waking up and having a coffee. those early birds who like to walk will join the hike, the rest can remain in the camping spot.
