How the day runs: Istanbul to Bilecik and back

The day starts with a pickup from your hotel reception in Istanbul, then it's a drive out through the countryside to Bilecik, where the early Ottoman sites are clustered close together. Your guide leads you through each stop and explains how this quiet town figures into the founding of the Ottoman state.

There's a break partway through for lunch, which you're free to sort out yourself at a local spot. Once you've seen the sites, the driver takes you back to your hotel in Istanbul. Because it's a private tour, the timing stays flexible, which makes it an easy day for families, couples, and older travelers alike.
