Our estimated arrival time in Istanbul is between 23:00 and 01:00.
We pick up our valued guests from the designated stops and take them to Ankara, the capital of Turkey. As soon as we arrive in the region, we head to the breakfast venue previously arranged for a nice breakfast and enjoy a delicious open buffet breakfast. After breakfast, we proceed to the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, which is the present-day form of the historic Mahmut Pasha and Kurşunlu Inn located just near Ankara Castle. In this museum, you can see artifacts belonging to all civilizations that lived in Anatolia from the Paleolithic Age to the Ottoman Period. With its unique collections, it is among the world’s leading museums.
Later, we visit the Ankara Ethnography Museum, which hosted the remains of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk from 1938 to 1953. Here, materials compiled from various regions of Turkish art from the Seljuk Period to the present day are exhibited. Continuing our tour, after a panoramic view of the Victory Monument in Ulus Square, we go to the 1st Parliament building, which is also used today as the War of Independence Museum. This parliament building is the first and important parliament where our Republic was proclaimed, the National Anthem was adopted, Ankara became the capital, and Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was elected President, between April 23, 1920 and October 15, 1924.
Then we head to the 2nd Grand National Assembly Building of Turkey, built in 1923 by architect Vedat Tek and used today as the Republic Museum. We tour this special and important museum, a marvel of architecture where our Republic developed and Atatürk’s principles and reforms were implemented between 1924 and 1960. Afterwards, we proceed for lunch. (Extra)
After the meal, we visit Anıtkabir, the eternal resting place of the leader of the Turkish War of Independence and reforms, the first President of the Republic of Turkey, Commander-in-Chief Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, located on Ankara’s Rasattepe (Anıttepe). Anıtkabir is a fascinating structure with every detail meticulously built. While touring Anıtkabir, which both inspires pride and sadness in visitors, you can also visit the lower sections of the War of Independence Museum. Feeling the history of Anıtkabir, its dazzling architecture, and the respect for the heroes of the Turkish War of Independence buried in the memorial tomb, you will find yourself traveling through history.
You may experience emotional moments during the visit to Anıtkabir. It is normal for your eyes to well up with tears. As you bid farewell to Anıtkabir, you leave this meaningful place sadly and respectfully.
After our tour is completed, we board our waiting vehicle and head to the hotel where we will be staying, and after dinner we settle into our rooms to rest.

Dear guests; after the open buffet breakfast at our hotel, we leave the hotel and set off on an enjoyable journey to Eskişehir.
Our first stop is Sazova Science, Art and Culture Park. Here we tour Masal Castle with its magical atmosphere, the adventurous Pirate Ship, and the park’s other interesting areas. Afterwards, following free time that our guide will give you, we visit the Devrim Car, a source of pride for Turkish engineering, and witness our country’s automotive history up close. Embracing the nostalgic atmosphere of the Devrim Car, we come together with one of the most meaningful works in Turkish automotive history. Our next stop will be the Wax Figures Museum, brought to life by Prof. Dr. Yılmaz Büyükerşen, where lifelike wax statues of many famous names are displayed. While our guests who want to enter the museum take their places in line, together with those who do not want to enter we stroll through the streets of Odunpazarı, famous for its historical houses dating back to the Ottoman period right next to us, and we give free time for shopping at Atlıhan Bazaar, where handicrafts are exhibited; and our journey of history and culture continues with a visit to the Kurşunlu Complex, one of the unique examples of Ottoman architecture.
At the end of the day, our stop is the heart of Eskişehir, the Porsuk River, the address of peace and romance. Here we enjoy the moment as the sunlight glides over the city like the flowing waters.
And with the peaceful coolness of the evening, we bid farewell to Eskişehir and begin our return journey to Istanbul, following the Bozüyük - Adapazarı route.
