Sakarya is a northwestern Turkish province straddling forested hills, the valley of the Sakarya River, and the pristine shores of Sapanca Lake. Just 150 km east of Istanbul, it blends industrial energy with remarkable natural scenery, Ottoman heritage, and Battle of Sakarya battlefield sites that shaped modern Turkey.
