This exclusive two-day expedition invites you to traverse the historic landscapes of Southeastern Turkey, bridging the gap between ancient monumental legacies and vibrant contemporary culture. Your journey begins at Gaziantep Airport, from where you drive north to Adıyaman and the majestic Mount Nemrut. Here, you will witness the legendary sunset illuminating the colossal statues and the monumental tomb of King Antiochus I. On its terraces, giant heads of gods and guardian lions and eagles surround the burial mound of the Commagene king, and the story of how these statues were placed on the summit is one of the most memorable parts of the visit.
The second chapter of your tour immerses you in the sensory delights of Gaziantep, a city renowned as a crossroads of the historic Silk Road. You will explore the world-class Zeugma Mosaic Museum, home to an unparalleled collection of ancient mosaics, most notably the hauntingly beautiful Gypsy Girl. The exploration continues through the heart of the city, where the historic Gaziantep Castle stands as a testament to the region's enduring past. You will wander through the traditional Coppersmith Bazaar, locally known as Bakırcılar Çarşısı, where skilled artisans continue to practice age-old crafts, offering a unique glimpse into the authentic local lifestyle.
Beyond its historical treasures, this tour is a celebration of Turkey's world-famous culinary traditions. Gaziantep serves as the ultimate backdrop for a gastronomic adventure, where you will indulge in authentic kebabs, traditional lahmacun, and the city's signature baklava. By combining the serene, awe-inspiring views from the summit of Mount Nemrut with the bustling, flavorful streets of Gaziantep, this tour offers a perfectly balanced itinerary for those seeking both historical enlightenment and cultural immersion in one of Turkey's most fascinating regions.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!

Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
