From Usak
Step back into antiquity with a fully guided excursion that weaves through the most compelling archaeological gems of the Usak province. From the Roman foundation of Sebaste to the mystic ruins of Pepuza, this daily tour reveals how empires rose, fell, and left their imprint on the Anatolian landscape.
Each stop offers a glimpse into a different chapter of Usak’s past. Sebaste’s well‑preserved streets echo the disciplined order of Roman urban planning, while its Byzantine churches display intricate stonework that survived centuries of upheaval. The Selcikler ruins reveal layers of cultural exchange, and the nearby tumuli remind visitors of the region’s pre‑Roman aristocracy. Finally, the walk to Pepuza, a short two‑kilometre trek along the tranquil stream, immerses you in a landscape that once inspired early Christian mystics.
Practical notes: the tour begins with a hotel pick‑up at 08:30, and a comfortable, climate‑controlled coach will carry the group between sites. All entrance tickets are covered in the price, and a professional English‑speaking guide will share stories and answer questions throughout the day. The return to your accommodation is scheduled for around 17:30‑18:00, giving you plenty of time to relax or explore Usak on your own.

Usak Historical City Day Tour
The adventure starts at 08:30 when the coach arrives at your hotel in Usak. After a brief welcome, the group heads to the ancient settlement of Sebaste, located in the Viranici area. Here you will walk among the ruins of a city that Augustus established over two thousand years ago, and you will see the remains of two Byzantine churches that once served as the spiritual heart of the region. From Sebaste, the itinerary moves to the Selcikler archaeological site, where excavations have uncovered layers ranging from the Bronze Age to the Byzantine period. The guide will point out the three Lydian tumuli that rise in the northern part of the site, highlighting their significance as burial monuments of the pre‑Roman kingdom. After a short break, the journey continues toward Pepuza, a mystical locale perched on the edge of the Banaz Stream. A pleasant two‑kilometre hike brings you to the remnants of a monastery linked to the Montanist sect, offering a rare glimpse into early Christian dissent. Throughout the day, the guide provides context about each civilization that left its mark on Usak, from the Lydians and Persians to the Romans and Ottomans. The tour concludes with a comfortable return to your hotel between 17:30 and 18:00, allowing you to reflect on the centuries of history you have just experienced.

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!
