Kocaeli tour packages explore the industrial province east of Istanbul, but with a surprisingly green side. The provincial capital İzmit lies at the head of a sheltered bay and has Ottoman mosques and a clock tower, while Kartepe offers pine forests and a ski resort close to Sapanca Lake.On the Black Sea side, Kandıra has quiet beaches and traditional villages, and the town of Gebze holds the tomb of Hannibal at Eskihisar. Kocaeli is an easy 1.5 to 2-hour trip from Istanbul and works best as a short break, not a full holiday.
