Amasya - Lovers Museum - Amasya Archaeology Museum - Sultan Bayezid II Complex - Miniature Amasya Museum - Green River - Bimarhane
With our comfortable buses, after a peaceful journey, we arrive in Amasya. In the morning hours, we take a pleasant break for breakfast and then set off to explore Amasya, the ancient city of the Ottoman Empire. Amasya is a paradise that has left its mark on history as the city of princes, carrying traces of the past in every corner. Our first stop is the water channels that host the legend of Ferhat and Şirin. In these water channels, which Ferhat carved through the mountains for his beloved Şirin, we visit the Lovers Museum opened by the Municipality of Amasya. Here, we will discover up close the deep traces of love and epic poetry, and the romantic stories that shaped the city.
After our museum visit, we move on to the Amasya Archaeology Museum. Here, we lose ourselves among the mysterious remains of the past. From ethnography exhibits to fossil collections, every moment we spend among the ancient traces of human history makes us feel even more how deep a history these lands possess. In the mummies section, we almost travel through time. Then, we visit the complex of Sultan Bayezid II, who had served as a prince and later became a sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Fascinating with the legacy of Sultan Bayezid, this complex is like a gateway into the depths of history. We admire the giant plane trees used as lightning rods, the historic fountain reflecting the silhouette of Istanbul for the people of Amasya at that time, and the elegant details inside the mosque.
After our visit to the complex, we descend to the soothing banks of the Yeşilırmak. Starting from Sivas and bringing life all the way to Samsun, this river divides Amasya in two, and the city is adorned with Ottoman-era mansions spread across both banks of the river. We take a journey back into the past through the elegance of the Ottoman Empire, with 18th- and 19th-century mansions and the tombs of the Pontic kings carved into Mount Harşena. On every street and in every structure of Amasya, we find a story, and with every step, we go deeper into history.
Our next stop is Şehzadeler Park. During our walk here, we visit the Şehzadeler Mansion and feel the traces of the Ottoman period more closely. Then, during free time around the historic Hazeranlar Mansion, those of our guests who wish may climb as far as the King Rock Tombs. This sacred area is a point that contains a historic texture and a deep sense of peace.
After the free time, we visit the Bimarhane, the health center of the Ottoman period. Here, we learn about the treatment methods and understanding of health of the era, and get acquainted with the Ottoman Empire’s interesting practices in the field of medicine. At the end of this interesting tour, we depart from Amasya city center and head up to Çakallar Hill. From this point, where we can see all of Amasya from above, we take in the captivating view while watching the city from a bird’s-eye perspective, accompanied by a sip of tea.
At the end of the day, we begin our journey back to our hotel. After fully enjoying Amasya’s historical atmosphere, we have our dinner and stay overnight at our hotel.
Ballıca Cave – Zile – Sık Dişini Toilet – Ulu Mosque – Tokat Archaeology Museum – Tokat City Museum – Tokat Mevlevi Lodge – Taşhan
In the morning, after the rich breakfast we will have at our hotel, we set off toward the first discovery point of the day. Our first stop is Ballıca Cave, a unique natural wonder hidden beneath the ground. (If it is open to visitors) This enormous cave, 680 meters long and 95 meters high, captivates its visitors with its 8 large chambers. The cave stands out not only for its size, but also for its different formations and unique structures. Ballıca Cave is not only one of the largest and most impressive caves in the world, but it also preserves its mystery with its still-undiscovered sections. Throughout the tour, while admiring unique natural formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, and the world-famous Onion Stalactites, which date back 3.4 million years deep within the cave, you will feel as if you are walking through a natural museum.
After our Ballıca Cave visit, we head to the district of Zile, notable for its historical past and cultural richness. We visit Zile Castle, where it is believed that Roman Emperor Julius Caesar said the words “Veni Vidi Vici.” From the historic castle, we watch the view of Zile and witness the history of the region accompanied by our guide’s explanations. After our photo break, we give free time in the district center.
After our Zile tour, we head to Tokat city center and arrive at the printing workshop to learn Stone Printing Yazma, one of Anatolia’s traditional crafts. We watch how stone-printed yazmas, made from Tokat’s linden trees and each of which is a work of art, are produced, and receive information from master printers about this ancient art. Our guests who wish may also have the opportunity to make their own prints.
After the art of yazma, we have lunch to taste the local flavors of the city. Experiencing Tokat Kebab and regional dishes will be one of the unforgettable culinary stops of this trip.
After our meal break, we move to the city center to discover Tokat’s historical texture. First, we take a walk among Tokat’s elegant Historical Houses dating back to the Ottoman period. Then we visit Sık Dişini Helası, notable for its interesting architecture, and Ulucami, one of the city’s spiritual symbols.
Afterward, Tokat Archaeology Museum and Tokat City Museum, located at the foot of Tokat Castle, take us on a journey into the deep history of Anatolia. We tour the artifacts that shed light on the region’s past and the modern exhibition areas.
Another important stop of the day is Tokat Mevlevihanesi, one of the important centers of Mevlevi order. Here, accompanied by our guide’s explanations, we get to know the Mevlevi culture up close and feel the peaceful atmosphere of the building. Then we see the historic Clock Tower nearby and take a photo break.
Finally, we arrive at Taşhan, one of Tokat’s most lively bazaars. During the free time to be given in this historic inn, also known as the Yazmacılar Bazaar, you may purchase handmade souvenirs and enjoy the historical atmosphere with tea or coffee.
After the pleasant time we spend at Taşhan, we set off on our return journey to the hotel. Dinner and accommodation are at our hotel. After this special day, which carries the traces of history at every step and fascinates with its cultural riches and natural beauty, we spend the night at our hotel and rest for new discoveries the next day.
Tokat – Çorum – Historic Clock Tower - Çorum Archaeology and Ethnography Museum - Hattusha Ancient City - Yazılıkaya - Istanbul
After the delicious breakfast we will have at our hotel in the morning, we set off toward Çorum Center to take the first step of an unforgettable journey. We take a short photo break in the magnificent square of the Historic Clock Tower, located in the heart of Çorum. The Clock Tower is one of the city’s symbols with its elegant structure bearing the traces of time, and photographing this moment makes the beginning of our tour special. After our photo break, in Çorum, which has the distinction of being the magnificent capital of the Hittites, we set out to explore the Çorum Archaeology and Ethnography Museum, where historical artifacts uncovered by excavations are exhibited. During our museum visit, we will feel the traces of the past more deeply as we closely examine the cultural heritage of the region dating back thousands of years.
After the museum visit, we once again feel the city through the visual impact of the mighty walls of the past by viewing, in a panoramic way, Çorum Castle, which represents a heritage stretching from the Seljuks to the present day and gave the city its name. Now we head toward the Ancient City of Hattusa, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, has stood out throughout history for its grandeur, and was the capital of the Hittites. Hattusa continues to enchant its visitors with its ruins that have survived from the depths of history to the present day. We begin our tour of this ancient city with the famous King’s Gate. As we visit important structures such as the Sphinx Gate, Yer Gate, and Potern, we have the chance to observe more closely the engineering genius and religious understanding of the Hittites. With our steps between the Hieroglyphic Chamber and the Hittite Walls, we lose ourselves in the traces of the ancient world.
In the later part of our tour, as we explore the Great Temple and Nişantaşı, one of the most important religious structures of the ancient world, we learn many things about the Hittites’ sacred areas. After these impressive discoveries, we move on to the Yazılıkaya Open-Air Temple, another important structure of the region. Here, by visiting chambers A and B, where reliefs of Hittite gods are located, we take our historical steps in this sacred area. In the mystical atmosphere of Yazılıkaya, we leave deep traces regarding the religious and cultural structure of the ancient civilization.
After all these unique discoveries, we begin our return journey. Following the Bolu, Adapazarı, and İzmit route, we proceed toward Istanbul. This historical journey we experience along the way will leave an indelible mark in our memories. When we arrive in Istanbul, we bid farewell, dropping off our valued guests at the points where we picked them up, with the wish to meet again on the next ITC TUR organization.
