From Tekirdag
Set out on a remarkable day tour from Tekirdag that unveils the hidden historical and natural gems of the region. This carefully curated daily excursion invites you to explore picturesque seaside settlements, centuries-old lighthouses, and significant Byzantine monastic ruins along the Marmara coast.
Your Tekirdag day trip begins with a convenient morning departure from your hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach, accompanied by a professional English-speaking guide. Heading towards the coast, you will reach Hoskoy, a delightful village twenty kilometers from the center of Sarkoy. Historically called Hora, this scenic location was predominantly inhabited by a Greek community during the Ottoman period. Today, the local inhabitants sustain their livelihoods primarily through viticulture and olive farming, while the area's prominent fishermen's shelter ensures a constant presence of fresh maritime activity. Beyond its tranquil agricultural vistas, the coastal geography increasingly attracts nature enthusiasts interested in outdoor adventures such as trekking and paragliding against a stunning backdrop of sea and sky.
The journey continues deeper into history with a visit to the Hagios Ioannis Theologos Monastery. Situated within the ancient Ganohora settlement, which dates back to the first century, this site was once a prominent religious hub for the Christian world during the Middle Ages, historically housing six active monasteries. Although most of these medieval structures have vanished over time, the surviving St. Ioannis Theologos monastery remains a poignant historical landmark. Following a full day immersed in coastal beauty, cultural heritage, and local traditions, the tour concludes with a relaxing evening return transfer back to your hotel.

Daily Tekirdag Sarkoy City Tour
Your daily excursion commences with a morning pickup from your accommodation in Tekirdag aboard an air-conditioned, non-smoking coach. Accompanied by a professional English-speaking guide, you will travel toward the picturesque coastal district of Sarkoy. The first main stop is Hoskoy, a delightful seaside village situated twenty kilometers from the central district. Known in ancient times as Hora, this settlement preserves deep historical ties to the Greek population who lived here during the Ottoman era. As you explore the village, you will learn about the local way of life, which centers around extensive grape vineyards and olive groves, alongside the region's largest fishermen's shelter where fresh catches are routinely brought in. The journey then proceeds to the archaeological site of Ganohora, dating back to the first century, which served as a major medieval religious center. Here, you will visit the Hagios Ioannis Theologos Monastery, the sole surviving structural remnant of the six historical monasteries that once operated in the area. Throughout the day, your guide will share fascinating historical context about the region's cultural evolution and natural landscapes. In the late afternoon, between 17:00 and 18:00, the tour winds down as you board the vehicle for a comfortable return transfer 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!
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!
