With the Safranbolu Amasra Tour, you can embark on an unforgettable journey of nature and history. Our journey begins toward Yörük village, an old Bektashi village. In the morning, we start our tour in Yörük Village with a delicious spread village breakfast at Filiz Teyze's place. After visiting the old communal laundry, Sipahioğlu Mansion, and the village market, we head toward Safranbolu, which is protected by UNESCO. In Safranbolu, we go up to Hıdırlık Hill, where you can see the Government House, Clock Tower, and other historical structures panoramically. From here, we will clearly see how the houses are positioned in an orderly manner and how they do not affect one another. Then, by walking through Safranbolu's historical streets, we will visit the Semerciler, Manifaturacılar, Demirciler, and Bakırcılar bazaars, Cinci Inn and Bath, İzzet Mehmet Pasha Mosque, Akçasu Canyon, Köprülü Mehmet Pasha Mosque, and the Sun Dial in its courtyard. Our next sightseeing stop in the same area is Kaymakamlar Mansion, one of Safranbolu's most beautiful tour houses, and its historical atmosphere will make you feel as if you have lost yourself in time. Also, with the guidance and narration of our guide, you can taste local delicacies and shop at Safranbolu's famous lokum shop. Our next stop will be the Crystal Terrace (Glass Viewing Terrace), located 80 meters above the ground and 11 meters wide over Tokatlı Canyon, which contributes greatly to tourism in the region and hosts magnificent views (Entrance fees are extra). Our guide carries out the glass terrace program according to the suitability of the itinerary. The terrace, which can تحمل 75 tons and consists of 3 pieces of 3-centimeter-thick glass with cavities each having a capacity of 750 kilograms, can carry approximately 400 people. However, only 30 people can be on it at one time. The terrace offers a unique view of Tokatlı Canyon.
Afterwards, we head toward beautiful Amasra. In Amasra, which became famous with Fatih Sultan Mehmet's words, "Lala, Lala, is this the one they call the World's Eye (the apple of the world's eye)?", we have our lunch of fish and special Amasra salad at a pleasant seaside fish restaurant (Extra). After the meal, we tour Amasra's historical places. We visit places such as Amasra Castle from the Genoese period, Fatih Mosque and Kale Mosque from the Byzantine period, Boztepe, and Çekiciler Bazaar. Our guests who wish may join a boat tour here (Extra). At the end of our tour, we visit a walking-stick workshop in Devrek, which is famous for its canes. Then, we return to Istanbul via Bolu - Adapazarı and bid farewell by dropping our guests off at the points where we picked them up, to meet again on another itctur.com organization.
