Things to do in Catalca

1. Reverse House: First of all, one of the most interesting places I visited in Çatalca was the Reverse House. The inside is decorated completely upside down, everything is upside down. So, every room, every item offers you a completely different perspective. It's a great place to take photos and make fun memories with your friends.

2. Antikköy: Here you can visit the zoo, ride horses and have a barbecue in the open area. You can spend time in a calm and peaceful atmosphere. In short, as a traveler who wants to be in touch with nature, this was really a perfect stopover point.

3. İnceğiz Caves: With its 5,000 years of history, it was a place that fascinated me. You can feel the history deeply here. As you wander through the caves, you can almost feel the traces of ancient times in your fingers. If you are interested in history and archeology, this is a spot not to be missed.

4. Çilingoz Nature Park: When you step into the nature of Catalca, one of the first places you should visit is Çilingoz Nature Park. You can take nature walks here with its rich vegetation and calm environment. You can also camp and enjoy the sea with water sports. 

5. Yalıköy Beach: When you come to Çatalca, if you want to enter the calm waters of the Black Sea, Yalıköy Beach is ideal. You can swim in the calm beach and spend a peaceful day. Also, since the beach here is not very crowded, I recommend it to those who want to have a quieter and calmer vacation.
