Let me take you away from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul for a day to see the local life of Black Sea fishing villages & capture beautiful landscapes with sailors, castles and a lighthouse side by side with me, a National Geographic photographer & Editor with a quarter-century of experience
This is a perfect chance to go for a road trip via the legendary ancient ruins of Assos and Troya. During our trip we can also visit Bird Sanctuary on the way and swim at beautiful bays of North Aegean.
Let's hit the road and explore the quiet ancient town of Nicaea, also known as İznik today. Before hopping in my car, enjoy a local breakfast by the beautiful Sapanca lake near the town of Sakarya, and then get ready for a road trip through the Samanlı Mountains to explore Nicaea together!
Ibrahim is a very nice man but his description of the day tour was misleading. He describes time for both breakfast and lunch which he did not follow through on, nor was there a ferry ride. He day was also inly about 9 hours, nowhere near the 12 offered. Additionally the museums were closed on Monday, which seemed to surprise him.
On the other hand we did enjoy our ability to walk around both Iznik and the Bursa bazaar.

Best money ever spent
I'm just going to say that Kemel is a photography God. The man can't take a bad picture.
This was definitely an experience like no other. After the hustle and bustle of Istanbul, it was so nice to get out of town into some small villages by the Black Sea. Kemal will take you places that no other tourists will get to see or experience. Once you get to the village get ready to watch Kemal in action as he chats withe the locals and makes new friends wherever he goes.
Not only will you get a unique prospective and views like no other, Kemal is so good at what he does as a photographer. You are sure to leave with tips on how to make your pictures better. Kemal is also very helpful with any help you might need getting to know your camera, or helping with the basics Iso, shutter speed and apeture.
I myself am a beginning hobby photographer, and I walked away with so many tools and so much wisdom of what makes a good picture.
I also am a lot braver taking photos on the street of people and situations that I normaly would just pass up.
I would have to say that anyone who wants a unique photo experience will not be disappointed, Kemal really delivers and he is so much fun to be around as well.

Magnificent photography tour
We went on this magnificent tour with Kemel. My friend and I are both amateur photographers. We learned a huge amount from Kemel. His knowledge of photography is superb. He knows the different cameras extremely well and could assist us with all our questions. The fishing villages and castle ruins were excellent locations. I will highly recommend this tour with Kemel. He is very kind and has a good sense of humor.

Fantastic road trip!
Ibrahim was fantastic and our trip was really amazing. I enjoyed our trip so much because Ibrahim is not a professional tour guide. He is a local. For me sometimes professional tour guides can give you too much information! So much my brain cannot hold it and I forget everything. But Ibrahim was extremely knowledgeable on the issues that I wanted to know about. And what he didn’t know he found for me. Ibrahim was friendly and personable and made me feel extremely comfortable and at home. Not only was he a great guide but a wonderful cook and very knowledgeable about Turkish food. I can’t wait for my next visit to Istanbul so I can book a new adventure with Ibrahim!
