Bilecik, between Bursa and Eskişehir, sits in the valley where the Ottoman state was born at the turn of the 14th century. This tour is based for four nights at a hotel in Bilecik and combines a guided city day, a cooking class, a hamam visit and a countryside outing, with transfers from and to Bursa Yenişehir Airport.
The city tour concentrates on the early Ottoman heritage: the tomb of Sheikh Edebali, the scholar whose guidance and family ties shaped the young dynasty, and the Orhan Gazi Mosque beside it, perched on a cliff with its minaret set apart on a rock. The Bilecik Museum adds archaeology and ethnography, the Abdülhamid-era Clock Tower overlooks the town, and Pelitözü Pond offers a green break among the pines.
Food and relaxation follow: a hands-on class preparing Bilecik güveci, a clay-pot stew, with a dessert to finish, then a morning in a traditional hamam and an afternoon at the Kınık Waterfall. Nearby Söğüt, with the tomb of Ertuğrul Gazi, can be added on request for travellers following the trail of the early Ottomans.
Bilecik is also known for its silk and mother-of-pearl craft traditions and for the restored Ottoman houses of its old quarter, which are pleasant to explore on foot during your free time, along with the town's tea gardens overlooking the valley.
Breakfasts, one lunch, guiding, entrance fees and transfers are included; other meals are paid locally. The tour is available as a private or a small-group departure.

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!
