Erfelek Tatlıca Waterfalls – Sinop – Sinop Castle and Walls – Historic Prison – Sinop Museum – Sinop City Center – Akliman – Hamsilos Fjord
On the second day of our Sinop Erfelek Waterfalls – Hamsilos Bay – Kastamonu Canyons tour carried out with İTCTUR, after our breakfast in the morning, we set off toward Erfelek Tatlıca Waterfalls, one of Sinop’s most important natural beauties. As we travel along the road accompanied by village views, we arrive at this unique natural wonder made up of a group of waterfalls. Guests who wish can sip their tea here and enjoy the peace of nature, while those who prefer can explore several waterfalls with short walks accompanied by our guide.
After the pleasant moments here, we begin touring Sinop, one of the northernmost points of our country and one of the cities with the highest happiness rate. Our first stop is the Historic Sinop Prison, which has been the subject of folk songs and TV series. This structure, which inspired Sabahattin Ali’s famous poem Aldırma Gönül, is an important heritage from past to present with its dungeons, wards, watchtowers, and walls. (If the prison is closed to visitors due to renovation, the outer castle walls will be viewed and information will be provided from outside. If weather conditions are suitable and there is sufficient participation, an extra boat tour may be organized.)
Then, at lunch, we have the opportunity to taste Sinop’s famous manti. After our free time, we proceed via the Akliman coast to Hamsilos Nature Park, Turkey’s only fjord. In this unique natural wonder reminiscent of Norway’s fjords, we capture the mesmerizing views of the Black Sea in photos and enjoy peaceful moments. At the end of the day, we head to our hotel in Kastamonu, and after our dinner, we check in for the night.

Kure Mountains - Valla Canyon - Muratbaşı Village - Horma Canyon - Ilıca Waterfall
On the third day of our Sinop – Kastamonu tour organized with itctur.com, after the breakfast we will have at our hotel, we head toward the Küre Mountains and arrive in the Pınarbaşı district. From there, we travel to Valla Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in our country and the second deepest in the world. To see this natural wonder, which can be crossed in two days with professional teams, we get off our vehicle in Muratbaşı Village and, after a short forest walk, reach the Viewing Terrace. In this breathtaking valley, shaped by the Devrekani Stream over thousands of years, with a depth of 800-1200 meters and a length of up to 12 km, we experience unforgettable moments and photograph unique views.
After our visit here, we arrive at Horma Canyon after approximately a 45-minute journey. The 3 km-long walking path, completed in recent years, has been built from wood and steel and designed in harmony with nature. At the end of the approximately 1.5–2 hour walk we will take along this route, we reach Ilıca Waterfall. We spend free time in the natural pool in front of the waterfall, which pours from a height of about 15 meters, and we give a lunch break for our guests who wish. You can also taste delicious gözleme at the local gözleme vendors located at the end of the canyon.
After all these enjoyable moments, we end our tour and begin our return journey to Istanbul. In the late hours of the night, we arrive in Istanbul, drop you, our valued guests, off at the points where you were picked up, and bid you farewell with the hope of seeing you again on another itctur.com organization.
