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!
6 Days Usak Cultural Heritage, Culinary Arts and Ancient Ruins Tour Private Tour
Highlights of the Usak Cultural and Culinary Journey
Six days in and around Usak combine museums and old streets, a kitchen class, a hamam and a full day in the countryside of the inner Aegean. The city programme covers the Usak Archaeology Museum, the Ataturk and Ethnography Museum, and the historic streets of the city center. You will marvel at architectural landmarks such as the 1901 Usak Bedesteni, now serving as the Sahaflar Bazaar, and the intricately carved 1896 Cimcim Fountain. The journey further highlights the region's ancient carpet-weaving traditions at the Carpet Museum and the spiritual serenity of the Burma Mosque.
Beyond the city streets, this tour offers a unique opportunity to engage with local traditions through a hands-on Turkish cooking lesson where you will master regional flavors. You will venture into local vineyards to learn the craft of fruit wine production and visit a renowned leather production center to appreciate the expertise of local artisans. A highlight of the experience is a visit to the breathtaking Tasyaran Valley, where millennia of river erosion have sculpted the landscape into a natural masterpiece, followed by an exploration of the ancient city of Blaundus, founded by Macedonian settlers and featuring impressive Roman-era temples, stadiums, and rock tombs.
Designed for relaxation and discovery, the itinerary provides ample time for you to rejuvenate with a traditional Turkish hamam experience. Whether wandering through the remnants of the Roman Empire or learning the secrets of Anatolian cuisine, this tour balances cultural immersion with natural beauty. With fully guided excursions, comfortable transportation, and a deep dive into both the archaeological and culinary landscapes of the region, this trip offers an authentic perspective on the heart of Turkey.

What Our Travellers Say
Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
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!
