Safranbolu offers the historic trading post of all the major trade routes that travelled from India, Arabia and the Orient into Europe. Beautiful and architecturally preserved is a favorite location of our staff. Ankara the capital of Turkey holds all the secrets that founded this great country. Amasya is pure beauty, a city fortified by mountains and castles laid out along the banks of the river Kizil Irmak before finishing in Trabzon to discover the secrets of the Byzantine Empire.
