Adapazari is the biggest city in Sakarya province in Turkey. I went there for a business trip - teaching German in the frame of ERASMUS teacher's mobility - and had a very good time there. Not only were my Turkish colleagues the most hospitable people I have ever met, but Adapazari and especially its vicinity are very nice places to be. One of the main reasons for this is Lake Sapanca which shimmers blue in the valley, surrounded by numerous mountains. Check out my tips for more!
- Pros:very friendly and hospitable people, nice landscape
- In a nutshell:A hidden gem
