This four-day private tour is based in Turkey’s capital, Ankara, and uses it as a comfortable hub for two full-day excursions into the Central Anatolian heartland. After your airport transfer and hotel check-in on the first day, the rest of the afternoon is free to settle in and get a first feel for the city around Kızılay.
The second day transports you to the Hittite heartland at Hattusas, a UNESCO World Heritage site near Boğazkale. Explore the monumental Grand Temple, walk through the Lion’s Gate and King’s Gate, descend into the ancient tunnel, and admire the open‑air sanctuary of Yazılıkaya with its rock‑carved deities. These ruins reveal the power and spirituality of an empire that once ruled much of the Near East.
On day three you’ll arrive in the charming Ottoman town of Beypazarı, famed for its well‑preserved wooden houses and bustling market. Climb Hıdırlık Hill for panoramic views, visit the local Hamam Museum and Living Museum, and see the historic Alaeddin Mosque. The market offers a tasting tour of regional specialties – the famous local carrots, handmade baklava, sun‑dried fruits and the crisp “Beypazarı Kurusu” bread – while artisans showcase copperware, embroidery and wooden crafts. The journey ends back in Ankara, ready for your onward travel.
Three nights in an Ankara hotel with breakfast, two local lunches, an English-speaking guide on the excursion days, entrance fees and all airport transfers are included, so you can simply enjoy the history.

Upon landing at Ankara’s airport, you are met and transferred to your hotel for check-in. After settling in, you have the afternoon free to wander the city at your own pace. You might stroll along busy Kızılay or simply rest after your journey.
After a hearty breakfast, the group departs for the archaeological site of Hattusas in Boğazkale. The drive offers scenic views of the Anatolian plateau before arriving at the UNESCO‑listed ruins. Your guide will explain the significance of the Grand Temple, the imposing Lion’s Gate and King’s Gate, and the stone tunnel running beneath the walls. The highlight is Yazılıkaya, an open‑air sanctuary where stone reliefs depict Hittite deities. A local lunch is included before the drive back to Ankara for the night.
Following breakfast, you travel to the historic town of Beypazarı, a short 1‑hour drive from Ankara. The itinerary includes a stop at Hıdırlık Hill for sweeping views, a visit to the Hamam Museum that illustrates centuries of bath culture, and an immersive experience at the Living Museum which shows traditional life and crafts of the region. You also visit the historic Alaeddin Mosque. A local lunch is included, and free time in the food market lets you browse the famous Beypazarı carrots, handmade baklava, dried fruits and the crunchy Beypazarı Kurusu. The day ends with a return to Ankara.
Enjoy a final breakfast at your hotel before a relaxed morning for personal shopping or a brief walk around the city. A transfer then takes you to the airport for your departure, concluding the cultural tour of Central Anatolia.

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!
