Lake Abant, with its forest hotels and lakeside walking path, is one of the favourite nature spots for visitors to Turkey, especially from the Gulf. It is about 229 km from Sabiha Gökçen Airport to central Bolu and about 240 km to Lake Abant.
The route follows the Anatolian Motorway; motorway tolls are not included and can be added as an extra in the form. For large families and lots of luggage we recommend the 6-seat Minivan or a 10- or 13-seat minibus.
