Begin your Black Sea adventure with a warm welcome at Zonguldak Airport and a short transfer to your comfortable accommodation in Bartin. The first day is yours to wander the historic streets, soak up the maritime atmosphere and enjoy the hospitality of the friendly locals. Bartin’s compact centre offers a pleasant blend of traditional Turkish cafés, modest shops and scenic views of the coast, setting a relaxed tone for the days ahead.
On day two the tour delves into the rich cultural layers of the region. A short drive brings you to the imposing Amasra Castle, where the 9th‑century Byzantine church now serves as the Bartin Fatih Mosque, a striking example of adaptive reuse after the 1460 Ottoman conquest. Inside, you’ll admire the stonework that has witnessed Byzantine, Genoese and Ottoman epochs. The itinerary then moves to the Amasra Museum, a compact yet informative venue displaying Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Genoese artifacts that illustrate the city’s strategic role on the Black Sea trade routes. A stroll through the lively Cekiciler Bazaar follows, where artisans showcase box‑wood and copper wares—spice boxes, honey spoons, salad bowls and more—offering perfect souvenirs and a glimpse into the town’s thriving craft traditions. The day concludes with a visit to the natural wonder of Gurcuoluk Cave, a limestone formation that caps the tour with a touch of adventure.
The final morning provides a leisurely breakfast before you have free time to savor a last Turkish tea or explore any missed corners of Bartin. A convenient transfer returns you to Zonguldak Airport for your onward journey, leaving you with memories of historic mosques, ancient museums, bustling bazaars and the serene beauty of a Black Sea cave, all experienced under the guidance of a professional English‑speaking guide.

Upon landing at Zonguldak Airport, you will be met by our representative and transferred in a comfortable air‑conditioned coach to your hotel in Bartin. After checking in and receiving your room key, the remainder of the day is free for you to explore the town at your own pace and rest for the upcoming activities.
After a hearty breakfast, the guide will pick you up and drive to the first highlight: the Bartin Fatih Mosque, originally a 9th‑century Byzantine church nestled within Amasra Castle. You will spend about an hour admiring the architecture and learning about its conversion in 1460. The journey continues to Amasra Museum, where you can view artifacts spanning the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Genoese periods. A short walk brings you to the bustling Cekiciler Bazaar, famous for locally crafted box‑wood and copper items such as spice containers, honey spoons and decorative trays. The tour finishes with a visit to Gurcuoluk Cave, a natural limestone formation offering a cool contrast to the historic sites. In the late afternoon you will be transferred back to your hotel in Bartin for an overnight stay.
Following breakfast, you have a few free hours to enjoy Bartin one last time—perhaps a stroll through the town or a coffee in a local café. When it’s time, our driver will collect you and transport you back to Zonguldak Airport for your departure flight, concluding the tour.

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!
