From Istanbul
Step straight into the world of Türkiye's most famous historical TV series on this full-day cultural tour to the Bozdag Film Plateau, the vast open-air set used for the global hits Dirilis: Ertugrul and Kurulus: Osman. One of the largest film sets in the world, it recreates an entire Seljuk and early-Ottoman world — tribal tents, castles, artisan workshops, bazaars and village streets built in authentic detail.
Arriving in Istanbul on a cruise ship? The Bozdag Film Plateau Day Tour — Dirilis & Kurulus Sets is one of the shore excursions we regularly arrange for cruise guests calling at the port of Istanbul. For cruise guests we can arrange pickup at the cruise terminal where the shared tour schedule allows; if your time in port is short, we recommend the private version of this tour, which is timed to your ship. Tell us how many hours your ship stays in port and we will confirm that the full programme fits comfortably. Send us your ship name and the date of your call in Istanbul and we will confirm availability.
Accompanied by a licensed guide, you explore the filming areas and learn how the costumes, symbols and architecture bring Anatolian history to life for the screen, with plenty of time for photography and exploration. It is a fascinating, well-structured visit for history lovers, families and fans of Turkish historical drama alike — a rare chance to walk through the settings where these epic stories were filmed, before returning comfortably to your hotel.

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!

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.
