What are the rock tombs of Amasya?

They are monumental tombs of Pontic kings carved into the cliffs above the city — dramatic rock-cut chambers visible from the riverside and reachable via walking paths.

How demanding is the castle visit?

Amasya Castle involves an uphill walk. It is optional; guests who prefer to stay riverside can enjoy viewpoints and the old town instead.

Is Amasya worth a full day?

Yes. Between the riverfront, rock tombs, castle, museums, and cuisine, a full private day allows a relaxed pace without rushing.

Are entrance fees included?

Museum and castle fees are not included in the base price. We advise on current ticket prices when confirming your booking.

What local food should we try?

Amasya is known for apples, baklava variations, and hearty Anatolian dishes. Your guide recommends trusted local restaurants.

Can we combine Amasya with other cities?

Yes. Amasya pairs well with Black Sea routes or central Anatolia multi-day private tours. Tell us your wider itinerary when you enquire.

Is hotel pickup included?

Yes. Pickup and drop-off from your hotel are included. Confirm your starting city when booking.

Set along the Yeşilırmak River, Amasya captivates with elegant Ottoman houses, ancient rock tombs, and a timeless Anatolian atmosphere.

Overview

About This Tour

Discover Amasya on a fully private tour — a riverside jewel of northern Anatolia where elegant Ottoman houses line the Yeşilırmak River and ancient Pontic rock tombs are carved high into the cliffs. Few Turkish cities combine natural beauty and layered history so gracefully.

Your licensed guide walks you through the old town, riverside mansions, and cliff-face tombs of the Pontic kings, sharing stories of princes, scholars, and the city's role in Ottoman history. Optional climbs to Amasya Castle reward you with sweeping views over the green valley.

This is a private experience at your pace. Prefer more photography along the river, a longer castle visit, or time for Amasya's famous apples and local cuisine? We shape the day around your interests.

Amasya fits well into Black Sea or central Anatolia itineraries and can be combined with other northern destinations on multi-day private journeys.

Ideal for couples, history lovers, and travelers seeking quieter Turkish cities, the Amasya Private Tour delivers romance, archaeology, and authentic atmosphere with premium private service.
