Our estimated arrival time in Istanbul is between 22.00-23.59.
Our arrival time in Istanbul is between 22:00-00:00, depending on the density of the area and traffic conditions.
Proceeding from Istanbul to Lüleburgaz, our first stop will be Dupnisa (İblisima) Cave, located in Sarpdere Village near the Demirköy district. This cave is Thrace's only cave opened to tourism and belongs to the Second Geological Period. The underground system, which has three entrances, is 3200 meters long in total, and the first 1000 meters contain water. A spring emerges from the cave, and this spring forms the Rezve Stream, which is the Turkish-Bulgarian border. Dupnisa Cave is famous for its gallery longer than 3 kilometers with a river inside, as well as its untouched stalactites and stalagmites. After the visit, we arrive in İğneada, the coastal town famous for Thrace's natural beauties.
After visiting the houses where the Greeks lived, we take a break for lunch. (Extra) By choosing one of the grilled chicken or grilled meatball menus, we satisfy our hunger with the effect of the fresh air. Then, we will visit the İğneada Longoz (Floodplain) Forests and lakes, one of the rare ecosystems of the World. (Entrance Fee 125 TL Extra) Along the Black Sea coast, streams flowing from the Yıldız (Istranca) Mountains into the Black Sea end in lakes before reaching the sea and create different sea, lake, and forest ecosystems.
After the Longoz Forests, we end our tour and depart for Istanbul. We look forward to seeing you on the next ITC TOUR organization.

Dear Visitors,
The breeding and egg-laying period of birds has begun in the İğneada region, and this process is of great importance for the sustainability of natural life. During this period, it is expected that the water connection between the lake and the sea will be cut off in order to protect the bird population.
Due to this natural development, canoe activities in the region have been temporarily suspended.
Thank you for your understanding and your sensitivity to nature.
