Day 1:
After picking up our valued guests from the designated points, we begin our journey for the Safranbolu Amasra Abant Tour with Tatilciniz Turizm.
We set off towards Lake Abant, at the foot of Bolu Mountain. When we reach the lakeside, you can take part in various activities as an extra. Guests who wish can go for a walk, and those who wish can take a ride by carriage or horse. After the lunch we will have, we reach Safranbolu, the museum town protected by UNESCO and bearing traces of the coexistence of Turks and Greeks.
Here we first go up to Hıdırlık Hill, where we will see Safranbolu, the Government Mansion and the Clock Tower in panoramic view. From here you can clearly see how no house obstructs the view of another and how orderly they are positioned. After taking beautiful photographs, we pass through the streets reflecting the spirit of Safranbolu and see the Semerciler, Manifaturacılar, Demirciler, Bakırcılar Arastas, Cinci Inn and Bath, İzzet Mehmet Pasha Mosque, Akçasu Canyon, Köprülü Mehmet Pasha Mosque and the Sundial in its courtyard, and the Kaymakamlar Mansion. In Safranbolu, famous for its houses and lokum (Turkish delight), you will feel as if you are in a time machine during this tour. While getting information about lokum at the city's famous lokum shop, we will also have the chance to taste their delicious lokum and do some shopping. Following the shopping break at the Yemeniciler Arastası, we visit the Cumhuriyet Chocolate Museum. Using 12 tons of chocolate over an area of 500 square meters, you will enter a space where you can see many sculptures and miniatures, primarily of the great leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. It is a concept museum offering a distinctive experience, where even the walls are covered with chocolate, the intense chocolate aroma triggers the happiness hormone. After getting information about chocolate and tasting it, we complete our Safranbolu tour and check into our hotel.
Dinner and accommodation are at our hotel. To contribute to tourism in Safranbolu with guests who wish, we go to the Crystal Terrace (Glass Viewing Terrace) built 80 meters above the ground and 11 meters wide over the Tokatlı Canyon, and to the İncekaya water aqueduct. The glass viewing terrace, which can carry 75 tons, consists of 3 pieces of 3-centimeter-thick glass, with openings each capable of carrying 750 kilograms. The 100-square-meter terrace, with a capacity of about 400 people, holds only 30 people at a time. The terrace offers a unique view of the Tokatlı Canyon. (Extra)
