This day trip from Ankara to Beypazari takes you to a beautifully preserved Ottoman town about an hour and a half from the capital, known for its white-and-timber mansions, cobbled lanes, crafts and famous carrots. Hotel pickup in central Ankara, an English-speaking guide, transport, museum tickets and lunch are all included, making it an effortless escape from the city for anyone curious about traditional Anatolian life.
The first stop is Hidirlik Hill, a viewpoint above the town where the red-roofed houses spread out below you, perfect for photographs. In the town centre you then visit two museums: the Turkish Bath Museum, which explains the customs and rituals of the hamam, and the Living Museum, where the daily life, clothing and handicrafts of the region are brought back to life. Your guide continues to the historic Alaaddin Mosque, one of the oldest religious buildings in Beypazari, and leads you through narrow streets lined with restored Ottoman houses.
The day closes in the local market, where you have free time to taste and shop: Beypazari carrots and carrot juice, sun-dried fruits, biscuits, home-made baklava and the crunchy Beypazari kurusu, a local dried bread. Stalls also sell needle lace, embroidery, copperware and wood carvings made by local artisans. This guided Beypazari day tour suits culture lovers, families and photographers, and is best enjoyed in comfortable walking shoes, as the cobbled lanes can be steep in places.

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!
