A Weekend in Kandıra: Boat Trips, Morning Canoeing and an Afternoon on the Farm

OCTOBER 2026 — By velvet

A bungalow holiday can sound like sleeping, waking and having breakfast. Lovely, but sometimes a little still. If you are spending two days by the lake in Kandıra, there are enjoyable things to do beyond your room.

Morning: canoe or pedal boat

After breakfast is a lovely time to head to the lake. Paddle along the shore by canoe or pedal boat, with no reason to rush.

For something more relaxed, there is also a boat trip lasting approximately 20 minutes: a short outing to see the lake from a different angle.

Midday: a walk around the farm

A small farm beside the accommodation is home to geese, chickens, ducks, roosters, cows, cats and dogs. For city dwellers, meeting them can feel like discovering something new or remembering childhood.

Afternoon: connect with the land

When the season allows, try planting or picking ripe produce on our farmland. What is available changes with the season, so talk to our team before arriving.

For nature lovers: ATV rides

An ATV experience in nature may be available for those wanting a little more activity. Ask about availability and details when booking.

Evening: fire and pool

At the end of the day, return to your room. Relax in your private heated pool at Yakamoz or Zümrüt, then settle by the fire pit.

What you need to know

Activity dates, weather conditions, capacity and fees may vary. Please confirm them when booking.
