With our valued participants
In Giresun at 19:00 Atapark,
In Ordu at 20:00 Rus Pazarı, near the Old Bus Terminal, we meet and continue our night journey to Western Black Sea, accompanied by Pikola In-Vehicle Refreshments.
In the morning, after having breakfast in Bolu, we arrive at (Extra) Bolu Abant Lake and Nature Park, a crater lake located at an altitude of 1350 meters above sea level. After enjoying pleasant time by the shores of Abant Lake within the nature park dominated by pine and spruce trees, we take our seats in our vehicle and head to another natural wonder of Bolu, Yedigölers. We meet with our minibuses waiting for us in Bolu (Extra). In Yedigöller, known for its extraordinary nature that resembles a postcard especially during autumn when it turns into a riot of colors, we complete our photo sessions among İncegöl, Nazlıgöl, Sazlıgöl, Kurugöl, Deringöl, Seringöl, and Büyükgöl. We have our meal consisting of sucuk sandwich grilled on a charcoal grill. After free time, we depart for Safranbolu, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Listin 1994.

After our breakfast, we begin our tour of UNESCO Safranbolu, which was added to the World Heritage List in 1994. During our walk through Safranbolu's old bazaar among its impressive houses featuring original architecture, we visit the Semerciler, Manifaturacılar, and Bakırcılar Bazaars, the Köprülü Mehmet Paşa Mosque, the Kaymakamlar Mansion, the Sun Clock, and the Cincihan. We then proceed to the Saffron Fields for Saffron Harvesting. We assist in collecting saffron flowers in small groups to avoid damaging them; these flowers are used in the food, dye, and chemical industries and can color liquid up to 100,000 times their own weight. Afterward, we continue our tour to Amasra. Founded 3,000 years ago by Persian Queen Amastris and named by Sultan Mehmed II as "Çeşm-i Cihan bu mu ola", we enjoy our late lunch in Amasra consisting of the famous Amasra Salad and Fish. After the meal, we explore the city streets surrounded by walls, visiting the Kemere Bridge, Kilise Camii (Church Mosque), and Çekiciler Bazaar. We are given free time at the Tahtacılar Bazaar for shopping local handicrafts. At the scheduled time, we gather on our vehicle. After breaks along the way, we drop you off at your pickup points in the evening, bidding farewell with the hope of meeting again on another PİKOLA TOUR excursion.
