Kıyıköy, or ancient Medea, about 20 km east on the coast of Black Sea, is a historical town with city walls, impressive rock-cut monastery of St Nicholas, and beaches, all surrounded by creeks and forests. Buses departing about once every two hours connect it with Vize.
Demirköy to north, going through beautiful forests of Istranca Mountains, also makes a perfect trip from Vize, although only feasible if you have a car at your disposal. From there on, you can visit a medieval foundary, Dupnisa Cave, and Ä°Äneada further to northeast on the coast, surrounded by lush forests and lakes.
