After our night journey, after having breakfast at the facility in the morning, we start our journey. We set off towards Yörük Village.

Then, we move on to Safranbolu.
Safranbolu is a city famous for its houses from the Ottoman period, narrow streets, and historical structures. First, we visit Siğahioğlu Mansion. This mansion, as one of the finest examples in Safranbolu, showcases the elegant details of Ottoman architecture. Then we go up to Hıdırlık Hill. From here, while watching Safranbolu from above, we become even closer to the city’s historical texture.
We continue our tour by visiting Cinci Hoca Bath and Inn. Safranbolu’s famous bath is a perfect place to experience traditional Turkish bath culture. Afterwards, we go to Köprülü Mehmet Pasha Mosque. This mosque is one of Safranbolu’s important religious buildings and enchants with its elegant architecture. Kaymakamlar Mansion and Government Mansion are also on our tour route.

From the viewing terrace, we take in the canyon’s majestic view panoramically and make plenty of photo stops. This stop, where we will feel the power and grandeur of nature most closely, will be one of the most impressive moments of the day. After our visit to Valla Canyon, we move on to Horma Canyon, another natural wonder of the region. Thanks to the wooden walking platforms, we enjoy a safe and pleasant nature walk.
The walk we will take accompanied by the soothing sound of water flowing between the high cliffs offers our guests almost a therapeutic effect. In this unique atmosphere that contains all the tones of nature, we capture unforgettable shots.After our walk in Horma Canyon, we reach Ilıca Waterfall with a short journey. The turquoise-colored natural pool formed by the clear water cascading from about 10 meters high is one of the most enchanting spots in the region.
