When to go to Sapanca?

Sapanca Lake and the natural beauties around it welcome its visitors every season of the year. However, some seasons make Sapanca more special than others.

Although Sapanca has a heavy tourist traffic in all seasons due to its close proximity to Istanbul, the most suitable times are spring and autumn months.

The spring months cover the period between March and June. During this period, nature wakes up and flowers begin to bloom. The lake and its surroundings take on a lush appearance. While the weather is warm and sunny, it is an ideal time to take a trip to Sapanca as the humidity is low.

The autumn months cover the period between September and November. In this period, the riot of colors of nature is revealed. The forested areas around the lake take on red, yellow and orange colors. The air temperatures are also warm and sunny, similar to the spring months. Therefore, the autumn months are another suitable period to visit Sapanca.

The winter months cover the period between December and February. During this period, the weather is cold and rainy. However, in winter, Sapanca and its surroundings have many beauties. Especially the illuminated Sapanca Lake and the surrounding landscapes have a fascinating view even in winter. It is also very pleasant to enjoy the fireplace at home during the winter months.

Summer covers the period between July and August. During this period, the temperature reaches its highest level. While the natural beauties of Sapanca's lake and its surroundings remain the same during this period, the tourist density increases in summer. Besides, it is an ideal period for water sports and picnics.

As a result, Sapanca can be visited in any season, but spring and autumn months are more suitable. Since the temperature is warm, the humidity is low, and the nature is lively and colorful, trips are more enjoyable during these periods.
