Tour description

Ankara is located in central Turkey on the Anatolian Peninsula, the Asian side of this continent-spanning nation. The city sits at an altitude of 850 metres (2800 feet) and has existed as a settlement for several thousand years. For many centuries it was an important trading post on the Silk Route connecting Europe with the riches of Asia and Africa. In 1923 the city became the capital of new Republic of Turkey and a tremendous growth spurt began. With around 6 million inhabitants today, it is the second largest city, after Istanbul, in modern Turkey.

The places that we will see and talk you about are:

Amazing tour! The tour was above and beyond our expectations. Ahmet provided historical information of the places we saw and took us to an amazing cafe and restaurant in Ankara. The pace was good. We had breaks for toilet, coffee, and dinner. I highly recommend him.
