Set in the heart of the Marmara region, Bilecik is celebrated as the first capital of the Ottoman Empire and a cradle of civilizations that date back to 3,000 B.C. The town’s dense pine forests and gentle hills have fostered a growing eco‑tourism scene, while its historic streets still echo the footsteps of early Ottoman leaders. A visit to the Bilecik Museum, housed in a former courthouse and opened in 2006, offers a chronological journey through archaeological finds and ethnographic artifacts that illuminate the city’s long past.
The guided city tour takes you to the Shaykh Edebali Tomb, whose cliff‑top setting provides sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. Nearby, the Orhan Ghazi Mosque—built in the early 14th century and uniquely featuring a minaret perched on a separate rock—stands as a testament to early Ottoman architectural ingenuity. The Clock Tower, erected by Sultan Abdulhamid II, dominates a hill overlooking the town, while the expansive Pelitozu Pond, 213.5 hectares of pine‑shaded water, invites visitors to relax, cycle, or barbecue on its shores.
Mid‑tour, a hands‑on cooking lesson immerses guests in Bilecik’s culinary heritage. Participants learn to prepare the famed local dish Bilecik Guveci and a traditional dessert, guided by a professional chef. After lunch, free time in the city centre allows for shopping and further exploration before the final transfer to Bursa Yenisehir Airport.

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!
