From Giresun
Set off from Giresun and discover two medieval fortresses, a panoramic cable‑car ride, and a sweet surprise at a local chocolate workshop. This daily excursion blends history, nature and culinary delights, all while cruising along the breezy Black Sea coastline.
Tirebolu Castle, perched on a limestone ridge, dates back to the Byzantine era and later served as a Genoese outpost. Its stone walls have watched countless ships sail the Black Sea, making it a perfect introduction to the region’s layered past.
Further east, Giresun Castle crowns the city’s highest point. From its battlements you can admire the bustling harbor, the verdant hills and the hazelnut orchards that give the province its reputation as Turkey’s nut capital. A traditional Turkish lunch is served on the terrace, allowing guests to soak in the view while sampling local flavors.
The journey continues to Ordu, where a modern gondola lifts visitors to Boztepe. At 1,200 metres the platform offers a 360‑degree panorama of the sea, the city’s pine‑covered slopes and the distant mountains. After a short free‑time, the tour heads back toward Giresun, passing a family‑run chocolate factory where you can watch artisans shape and temper sweet treats.
Practical notes: the tour runs year‑round, weather permitting, and is fully guided in English. Comfortable, air‑conditioned transport ensures a relaxed ride, and the itinerary is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Bring a light jacket for the cable‑car ascent and a camera to capture the unforgettable vistas.

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!
