A railway line coming in from Istanbul, lies west-east along the northern shore of the Gulf of Ä°zmit and southern shore of Lake Sapanca and passes through Ä°zmit and Adapazarı, where it turns southwards and continues along the bottom of impressive rocky and wooded Sakarya Valley towards EskiÅehir. This is part of the Istanbul–Ankara railway line, so has the most frequent intervals of passenger trains on any route in the country, at least once every two hours 8:30AM-midnight, with the section of the line between Istanbul and Adapazarı having even more frequent departures—which start earlier as well, around 6:30AM.
