Begin your adventure in the high‑altitude city of Agri, where the dramatic backdrop of Turkey’s highest peak frames a blend of natural wonders and ancient history. The first full day takes you to the imposing Avnik Castle, a fortress that crowns the landscape and guards a deep crater locally linked to a meteorite strike, the Agri Meteor Pit, famed for its healing hot springs. From there you travel to the mysterious Meya Ancient City, a sprawling settlement of caves, temples, tandoors and stone rooms that still echo the daily life of its early inhabitants.
The itinerary continues with a visit to the striking Noah’s Ship, a stone silhouette that recalls the legendary ark of the prophet Noah, followed by a brief but unforgettable ascent to Agri Mountain, offering panoramic views of the surrounding plateau. In the afternoon you return to the city for a leisurely stroll through the bustling market, where local artisans display hand‑woven textiles, silverware and traditional souvenirs.
The culinary highlight arrives on day three when a professional chef invites you into a family‑run restaurant for a hands‑on cooking lesson. You will learn to prepare regional specialties such as Abdigor meatballs, fragrant Hengel, and the soft, cheese‑filled Pisi, then sit down to enjoy the fruits of your labor for lunch. The tour concludes with a final morning in Agri before a comfortable transfer to Ahmedi Hani Airport for your onward journey.

The tour then proceeds to the Agri Meteor Pit, a deep crater locally linked to a meteorite strike, and its therapeutic hot springs. Next, you will explore the sprawling Meya Ancient City, wandering through its network of caves, temples, and tandoors that reveal a once‑thriving settlement.

The day ends with a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.
Following breakfast, you will be escorted to a local restaurant where a professional chef guides you through a hands‑on cooking class.

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!
