Il programma nel dettaglio

Karagöz & Hacivat: first we will visit these two wicked man’s graves to learn their stories.

Turkey's fourth most populous city, Bursa, was Turkey's first most important city and later capital of the Ottoman State between 1335 and 1363; with this tour we will cover many of the city's historical sites and tourist attractions.
