Following the successful Middle East Tourism Exhibition \"METEX\", that took place in Ankara – Turkey, between 25-27 May 2012, all delegates include 100 Travel Agents and 30 Travel writers that attended the event received invitation form East Marmara Development Agency to visit the region.
East Marmara Big Region have five main Areas (regions), Kocaeli, Sakarya, Duzce, Bolu and Yalova, each region has something special to offer for Tourists and in particular for Arab families.
Three buses left Ankara city towards the north and to Istanbul passed by different cities in the region, our guides from Mercan Tourism Company were explaining to us all the way about the wonderful places and the facilities available for tourists.
The trip took three days, I can say only that a wonderful Green Landscape in different green colors all over our way, a tasty food and fruits, a Five Stars Hotels, Thermals and Spa\'s and all what a tourist with his family can expect to see.
The East Marmara Region is so big, part of the region is on the Black Sea, another parts on 2000 meters mountains, what I want to say that you can move in this region between beach tourism in the Black Sea region, lakes that spread in the region, high mountains for skiing in Kocaeli, climbing and trekking, countryside tourism, Water skiing, Culture Tourism and Thermal with the hot and wonderful water.
believe that photos that I took during the trip with my camera can talk much better than me, I will leave you with some images.
For sure that Mercan Tourism in Istanbul can guide you through the region and will offer you all the services that you need. |
