We walk along the Road of Lions, lined on both sides with statues representing power and peace, reach the mausoleum and observe a moment of silence. We then begin our visit to the Atatürk and War of Independence Museum. We complete our Anıtkabir visit after seeing the monumental panoramas depicting the Gallipoli Campaign and the War of Independence, the National Struggle and Revolution galleries, and special sections displaying Atatürk’s books and manuscripts.
After our visits, we take our seats on the bus and depart for Eskişehir. After settling into our hotel in Eskişehir and having dinner, we retire to rest and recover from the pleasant fatigue of this full day immersed in history.

The Pirate Ship and Noah’s Ark,

A spacious 25,000-square-metre pond,

We then continue to the historic Odunpazarı district. As you walk among restored urban mansions and houses reflecting the Ottoman period, you will feel as if you are right inside history. After completing our photography with our guide’s explanations, we visit the Atlıhan Handicrafts Bazaar. You may explore it as you wish during the free time provided by our guide.

For lunch (extra), we have the opportunity to taste Eskişehir’s famous çibörek. Afterwards, we proceed to the city centre, where we see cafés and bridges notable for their modern appearance, the governor’s mansion, the municipality building and streets decorated with statues.

Guests who wish (extra) can experience the atmosphere of Venice with a gondola ride on the Porsuk River and the atmosphere of Amsterdam with a boat ride. We especially recommend having a cup of tea during our free time by the Porsuk River. ☕
