Bilecik, in the green hills where the Ottoman state was born, sits in Turkey’s forest-rich Marmara region and offers a rare blend of deep history and unspoiled nature. Archaeological treasures dating back to 3,000 BC are displayed in the Bilecik Museum, a former courthouse that opened in 2006 and arranges its collections chronologically for a clear view of the area’s past.
The tour continues with visits to the Shaykh Edebali Tomb, perched on a cliff and honoring the spiritual mentor of Osman I, and the Orhan Ghazi Mosque, a 14th‑century structure whose solitary minaret stands on a separate rock 30 m from the prayer hall. A short walk brings you to the Clock Tower, a four‑sided watchtower erected by Sultan Abdulhamit II that dominates the city’s skyline.
Nature lovers will enjoy the expansive Pelitozu Pond, a 213.5‑hectare pine‑surrounded lake just 7 km from town. Here you can set up a tent, grill a barbecue, sip tea in garden cafés, or rent bicycles and sea‑bikes to explore the tranquil waters. The combination of Ottoman heritage, museum treasures and outdoor recreation makes this short journey unforgettable.
The programme is compact and private: two nights in a hotel in Bilecik with breakfast, a full guided day in and around the city, and transfers from and to Bursa Yenişehir Airport. It is easy to combine with longer trips to Bursa, İznik or Eskişehir, and suits travellers interested in the early Ottoman story told through the tombs, mosques and landscapes where it began.

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!
