Sakarya (officially Adapazarı, the provincial capital of Sakarya province) is a city of 430,000 inhabitants on the Sakarya River in northwestern Turkey — a city of significant agricultural and industrial importance in the transition zone between the Central Anatolian plateau and the Marmara region, most internationally known as the site of the catastrophic İzmit-Düzce earthquake sequence of 1999 (the Sakarya earthquake of 17 August 1999, Mw 7.6, and the Düzce aftershock of 12 November 1999, Mw 7.2, together killing over 18,000 people and devastating the cities of the eastern Marmara region including Sakarya, Gölcük, İzmit and Düzce).
Sakarya province's most celebrated natural attraction is the Sapanca Lake (within the province, 45km in circumference, Istanbul's primary water source, one of the most beautiful freshwater lakes in northwestern Turkey) and the access to the Kartepe ski resort (Kocaeli highlands, 20km from the lake, the closest ski resort to Istanbul). The Sakarya River valley — the longest river in Turkey running entirely within the country (824km from the Central Anatolian plateau to the Black Sea) — gives the region a significant geographical character, and the Battle of Sakarya battlefield heritage (1921, the decisive battle of the Turkish War of Independence) is commemorated in the Sakarya War Memorial near Polatlı.
1999 Marmara Earthquake Memorial Landscape: Sakarya (Adapazarı) was one of the most severely affected cities in the catastrophic İzmit earthquake of 17 August 1999 (Mw 7.6) — the liquefaction of the Sakarya River alluvial plain caused entire apartment blocks to sink and tilt, creating one of the most dramatic earthquake damage landscapes in modern Turkish history. The rebuilt city and the earthquake memorial sites give Sakarya a particular significance in Turkey's recent history of seismic disaster and recovery.
Sapanca Lake and Kartepe — Natural Gateway: Sakarya province contains Sapanca Lake (one of Turkey's most beautiful freshwater lakes, Istanbul's primary water source) and access to the Kartepe ski resort — making it a natural base for both lake recreation in summer and skiing in winter, within 2h of Istanbul.
