About Çatalca
A rural forest-and-farmland district on Istanbul's far northwestern edge, prized for caves, ancient walls, vineyards and a true countryside escape.
From Kadıköy, Çatalca is a long haul of roughly 75 to 90 kilometres — over a tolled bridge and then deep into the rural northwest, easily 1.5 to 2 hours in traffic. The district is countryside through and through: oak forests, farms, vineyards, rock-cut caves and stretches of a 5th-century Byzantine wall. It mainly attracts day-trippers after nature, hiking and village breakfasts.
What's in Çatalca
Travelers we drive to Çatalca are usually heading for the İnceğiz Caves, the Anastasian Wall and the countryside vineyards. We'll drop you right at the Çatalca town centre, the İnceğiz Caves or rural village stops.

Famous spots in Çatalca
İnceğiz (Kemal Sunal) Caves — Ancient rock-cut chambers once used by early Christians as shelters and chapels, nicknamed after the classic Turkish films shot here, with good hiking around them.
Anastasian Wall — The remains of a 5th-century Byzantine 'Long Wall of Thrace', built to defend Constantinople and still traceable through Çatalca's hills and forests.
Çatalca countryside & vineyards — Rolling farmland, forest picnic areas and small wineries make the district a favourite for rustic breakfasts and weekend agritourism.
Local tip: Çatalca's sights are spread across villages with little signage and no transport between them — having your driver wait and hop with you is far easier than going it alone.
