Ömer

Guided trip
Hello! My name is Ömer! I am a 20-year-old business administration student who is currently studying in Turkey, Bilkent. I am a second-year student, and my passion is traveling, like most of you. Why you should visit Ankara? Well, Ankara is the capital city of Türkiye, although everyone thinks Istanbul as the capital :). Ankara is located in the middle of the Anatolia region with its hidden beauties. It has tons of gems about how Turkey was founded by the Father of the Turks, Mustafa Kemal, How Turks lived back in the day, wonderful natural sights within 1 hour of the city, and huge national parks. Besides all of that, it gives a unique experience of Turkish-style nightlife in the city center. On this trip, we will cycle along a lake, visit Anıtkabir (the tomb of Atatürk), Atakule (more like the CN tower of Turkey), and more landscapes in Ankara! I am looking forward to seeing all of you on such a trip. What is included in the price? - Accommodation (a hotel with private rooms for each person, located in the city center. it's located in a good place to get lost in the old town when you want to take a walk.) - Transportation - Museum Fees - Rental Bicycle fee in the lake of Eymir What's not included? - Food - Personal spendings - Souvenirs etc. Hope to see you all joining me on this trip. You can ask me any questions in the Q&A section! So let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any more great ideas to add!

Trip Itinerary
1

Ankara

Day 1-6
As for transportation, we will use my personal car (Audi A3 2014) and I will be driving all the time. I will pick my Tripmates from the airport and drop them at the hotel for the first day. My expectation for arriving mates is around the afternoon local time because hotels do not accept guests until 13 pm. in the night of the first day, we will have a dinner to get to know each other in one of the best kebab places in the city, and after that, if Tripmates does not feel tired, we will go to a bar which is really popular among the residents of Ankara to get a couple of drinks. So this is how day one will end like that.

Ankara is famous for its shopping malls, we will be going to a shopping mall called Armada, have breakfast in its streets of restaurants, and then start shopping if you want to. after our breakfast and shopping, we will be heading to the old bazaar of the city to buy some souvenirs. After there, we will be heading to Lake of Eymir, to have a cycling tour across the biggest natural lake in Ankara. In the evening we will go to the çayyolu, which is the new city center to eat but this time, our only option is not Kebabs. On the 6th day, I will take you from the hotel and I will drop you to the airport. I will have gifts for my beloved TripMates :). if we have time I will show you the presidential palace and the facilities within the palace. We can try Turkish street foods in a place called Atatürk Orman Çiftliği. This is a rough plan of what we are going to do on the trip. But we do not need to sit tight on this schedule. we can change and discuss things alongside the trip and before the trip. hope to see you all!
