Getting here

The road begins with the forest

Taraklı sits right between two major cities. About three hours from both İstanbul and Ankara. The last half hour of the road descends through beech forest into the valley.

By car

Entering "Taraklı" in your navigation is enough. We send the villa pin when we confirm the reservation.

  1. İstanbul

    TEM (E80) → Adapazarı → D650 Geyve → Taraklı

    About 200 km · 2.5–3 hours

  2. Ankara

    TEM (E89) → Nallıhan/Göynük exit → Taraklı

    About 260 km · About 3 hours

  3. Sakarya (Adapazarı)

The villas sit around 15 km from the İstanbul → Eskişehir → Antalya highway. You stay among the trees, yet remain within easy reach of the main road.

For those arriving without a car

Bus

Transfer at Sakarya Bus Terminal

Take an intercity bus to Sakarya Bus Terminal in Adapazarı. Minibuses to Taraklı run throughout the day, and the journey takes around an hour.

Train

High speed train to Arifiye

The high speed train between İstanbul and Ankara stops at Arifiye. Taraklı is around 50 minutes from the station by car. If you tell us about a transfer in advance, we will plan it together.

Plane

Sabiha Gökçen Airport

The nearest airport is Sabiha Gökçen, around 2 hours away by car. Hiring a car is the most comfortable option. You can also stop in Sapanca on the way back.
