Before setting out
• Use the card to read the relevant guide. Where there is no dedicated article, the link leads to the wider provincial guide and is labelled accordingly.• Confirm the actual entrance, opening times, tickets and accessibility with the operator. This is not precise navigation and does not establish that a site is currently open.
• Road, ferry and weather conditions can change, especially in mountains and protected areas; plan onward transport and return journeys for your date.
• Sapanca and Manyas markers indicate approximate lake locations, not park entrances or swimming areas. Follow protected-area rules.
