Agva

It was maybe the second weekend I was back in Istanbul when Alex, Emre, Sefer and I decided to get out of the city to experience nature. We went to the quiant little town of Agva. We found an overly expensive hotel by the river to hang out at for the day. It was absolutely gorgeous. We had lunch right next to the water and then resorted to the huge pillows under the willow trees for after-lunch tea. We layed around for about four hours until set out to find a hostel where we could afford to sleep. After spending only a week in the big city of Istanbul the fresh air really cleared my mind.In the morning we took the tandem bike out for a ride around the town and next to the bay. We had a long breakfast by the sea and then hopped on the bus back to Istanbul. It was one of the most relaxing weekends I had for a very long time.
