Amasya, often called the "City of Princes," lies in a dramatic gorge cut by the Yeşilırmak River. Its 3,000‑year history is visible in every stone, from Hellenistic rock‑cut tombs perched on the cliffs to the medieval Amasya Castle that crowns the hilltop. The city’s Ottoman legacy shines in the elegant wooden mansions that line the riverbank, especially the beautifully restored Yaliboyu houses and the 19th‑century Hazeranlar Mansion, offering a glimpse into aristocratic life of the past.
The itinerary includes a visit to the Sultan Bayezid II Mosque, an early Ottoman mosque complex of 1486 with a shaded courtyard and plane trees. Inside the Amasya Archaeological Museum, artifacts from the Hittite, Roman and Byzantine periods illustrate the region’s multicultural layers. A short walk brings you to the iconic Tombs of the Pontic Kings, where the most ornate chamber, Aynali Cave, dazzles with its ancient carvings. The day ends with a gentle stroll to Harbiye Waterfall, a natural oasis that adds a refreshing contrast to the historic landscape.
All meals are thoughtfully arranged: two open‑buffet breakfasts provide a taste of local flavors, while lunches and dinners are left for you to enjoy at your leisure, allowing flexibility to sample Amasya’s famous apples, cherries and other regional produce. Comfortable, air‑conditioned coach transport, professional English‑speaking guides, and all entrance fees are included, ensuring a seamless and immersive experience in one of Turkey’s most picturesque cities.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
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!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
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.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
