After breakfast, check out and depart to Amasya, a city between the Black Sea and inner Turkey, which lies at the center of a region of fertile plains crossed by the Yesil, Çekerek, and Tersakan rivers. The ruins of the citadel on the rock face of the cleft shelters 2000 year old water-channels, 1000 year old bridges, an ancient psychiatric hospital, an Ottoman Palace and a secret underground passageway. On the rock faces, impressive rock tombs of the Pontus kings attest to the ancient history of the city.

Upon arrival, we have lunch at a local restaurant for a sampling of the delicious regional cuisine. Our tour continues with a visit to the Amasya Museum, Hazerans’ House, Darussifa/Bimarhane, and Sultan Beyazit Kulliyesi (architectural complex). In the afternoon, we depart to Tokat. Dinner and overnight in Tokat.
