Set against the dramatic backdrop of Eastern Anatolia, Agri offers a blend of natural wonders and ancient history. The journey begins at Avnik Castle, a fortified site that tells the story of the region’s earliest inhabitants. Nearby lies the Agri Meteor Pit, a deep crater locally believed to have been formed by a meteorite, whose surrounding hot springs are famed for their therapeutic properties. A short drive later, the ruins of Meya Ancient City reveal a labyrinth of caves, temples, rooms and traditional tandoors, evoking the atmosphere of a mountain fortress.
The itinerary continues with a visit to the striking Noah’s Ship silhouette, a modern monument that commemorates the legendary flood narrative, followed by a brief ascent to Agri Mountain, the highest peak in Turkey, where panoramic vistas provide a perfect photo opportunity. After a day of exploration, guests enjoy a hands‑on cooking lesson at a local restaurant, preparing regional specialties such as Abdigor meatballs, Hengel and Pisi, and then savoring the dishes they have created for lunch.
To round out the cultural immersion, a traditional Turkish bath (Hamam) offers a restorative experience rooted in centuries‑old rituals. Free time in the city centre allows for leisurely shopping and strolling through Agri’s vibrant streets before the final departure from Ahmedi Hani Airport. Throughout the tour, professional English‑speaking guides ensure insightful commentary and smooth logistics.

Upon landing at Ahmedi Hani Airport, you will be welcomed by the guide and transferred to your hotel in Agri. After checking in, the remainder of the day is yours to settle in, explore the town at your own pace, or simply relax after your journey. Evening is free for a casual dinner in the city.
After a hearty breakfast, the group departs for a full‑day city tour. The first stop is Avnik Castle, where the guide shares the site’s strategic importance and its connection to early mountain‑dwelling cultures. Next, you will visit the Agri Meteor Pit, marvel at its immense size, and enjoy a short soak in the nearby hot springs reputed for their healing qualities. The itinerary then proceeds to Meya Ancient City, where you will wander through rock‑cut caves, ancient temples, and historic tandoors, gaining insight into the daily life of its former inhabitants. The day concludes with a brief stop at Noah’s Ship silhouette before returning to the hotel.
Following breakfast, the group heads to a local restaurant for a professional cooking workshop. Under the guidance of an experienced chef, you will learn to prepare Agri’s signature dishes—Abdigor meatballs, Hengel, and Pisi—using fresh regional ingredients. After the hands‑on session, you sit down to enjoy the meal you have created for lunch. In the afternoon, free time is allotted for shopping in Agri’s city centre, where you can browse traditional crafts and souvenirs before returning to the hotel.
After breakfast, you will be escorted to a historic Hamam for an authentic Turkish bath experience. Depending on the Hamam’s schedule and your preferences, you can enjoy the steam room, exfoliating scrub, and relaxing massage that form the core of this centuries‑old ritual. Once the session ends, the afternoon is left open for additional sightseeing, shopping, or simply unwinding in a café before the evening at leisure.
Enjoy a final breakfast at the hotel before the day’s free period, giving you a chance for any last‑minute purchases or a leisurely stroll through the town. In the late morning, the guide will collect the group and transfer you to Ahmedi Hani Airport for your onward flight, concluding the tour with fond memories of Eastern 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!
