In Göynük, the hometown of Akşemseddin, who was the mentor of Mehmet the Conqueror and found the grave of Eyüp Sultan, we first visit Gazi Süleyman Pasha Bath and Mosque and then Akşemseddin Tomb. Then we Victory Tower where we will see the city .

We are waiting for you all for our hiking to Göynük and Taraklı, famous for its preserved architecture, traditional handicrafts, local natural product markets and wooden clogs, comb and spoon workshops and many more.

Guidinse is going to be in Turkish not in English. Please consider this before attending to the trip!
