Dear guests, we would like to share with you the items we recommend bringing with you on our Safranbolu – Amasra – Abant tour.
Comfortable shoes: Since there will be walking tours in the historic streets of Safranbolu, Amasra, and Abant, we recommend choosing comfortable shoes, preferably with non-slip soles.
Clothing appropriate for the season: Especially in Abant and the Western Black Sea region, the weather may be cooler, so it would be useful to bring a cardigan, fleece, or light jacket with you.
Raincoat or umbrella: Since the Black Sea weather can be changeable, carrying a small umbrella or raincoat in your bag is advisable.
Small backpack: During daily excursions, having a small bag to carry water, phone, charger, personal items, and other necessities will be quite practical.
ID card: Please make sure to bring your Turkish ID card or valid identification document with you.
Your personal medications: If you regularly use any medications, please remember to bring enough supply for the duration of the tour.
Phone and charging equipment: To avoid running out of battery while taking photos, you can bring your charging cable and, if possible, your power bank.
Sunglasses and sunscreen: It will be useful to have these in your bag as you may need them during outdoor activities when the weather is sunny.
Water bottle: We especially recommend carrying water with you during outdoor tours and hikes.
Personal care products: Since this is an overnight tour, please remember to bring the personal care items you will need.
A small overnight bag: As there is only one night of accommodation, instead of packing all your belongings in a large suitcase, it will be more practical to prepare the clothes and personal items you need in a small bag.
Cash and cards: You can carry cards and some cash with you for personal expenses, local products, and shopping during free time.
Camera or phone: The historical atmosphere of Safranbolu, the views of Amasra, and the nature of Abant will offer plenty of opportunities for taking photos.
In short; we are bringing our ID, comfortable shoes, season-appropriate clothing, raincoat, personal medications, phone and charging equipment. And also, lots of good energy!
