Ordu Day Tour — Nature & Views

Arrival in Ordu and check-in. The day covers Boztepe & Cable Car, Paşaoğlu Mansion Ethnography Museum, Jason Church & Cape and Ulugöl Nature Park. Boztepe is the roughly 500-metre-high hill that rises immediately south of central Ordu, wrapping around the city like a natural balcony; today it is the province's undisputed… Transfer at the end of the tour.

1. 08:00 - 09:40 Boztepe & Cable Car· 100 dk

   Tour coaches can reach the lower-station car park and the summit by road; arriving early is advised in peak season as parking can fill up. Parking: A roughly 180-vehicle car park at the seaside lower station; limited additional parking at the summit for those arriving by road.

   Summit viewing terrace (city, harbour and Black Sea panorama), the glass viewing platform, the west-facing terrace for sunset, an ascent shot from inside the cable car, and the walking path among the pines.

2. 10:10 - 11:00 Paşaoğlu Mansion Ethnography Museum· 50 dk

   Tour coaches cannot enter the narrow street; the best drop-off points are the stops along the coast-Boztepe line, from which groups reach the mansion in a few minutes on foot. Parking: As the street in front of the mansion is narrow, vehicles are usually left in public/paid car parks along the Boztepe road or near the coast, followed by a short walk to the museum.

   The mansion's dressed-stone façade with corner half-columns; the main wooden staircase and landing; the oil-painted sofa ceiling on the upper floor (lozenge motifs and landscape corner medallions); the nineteenth-century room settings arranged with mannequins.

   As a multi-storey historic building with stairs, wheelchair access is limited beyond the ground floor; there is no lift.

3. 11:30 - 12:30 Jason Church & Cape· 60 dk

   Tour coaches can pull directly into the car park at the cape; the coastal road allows wide turning and parking. Parking: An organised free car park at the cape that accommodates tour coaches and cars; a cafeteria and viewing areas are alongside.

   The rise at the peninsula entrance for shooting the church at the cape's tip with the sea behind it; the western slope where the lighthouse and waves appear together; late-afternoon light for the church silhouette at sunset; the view of the church from the level of the pebble beach.

   Partly limited: the short walk between the car park and the church is stony and gently sloped, the church interior is on a single level but the uneven ground may require assistance for wheelchair users.

4. 13:00 - 14:00 Lunch — local flavour stop· 60 dk

   Lunch break of regional cuisine (outside half-board).

   Local spread and presentation shots.

5. 14:00 - 15:30 Ulugöl Nature Park· 90 dk

   Tour coaches can reach the entrance car park via the paved road; the inland mountain road is winding, so large vehicles require careful driving. Parking: Free parking is available within the park.

   The viewing terrace on the lake's north shore, best for forest reflections in the early morning; the path between the small reed-fringed lakes; and the panoramic lake view from the hilltop.

   The entrance, car park and picnic area are accessible over level ground; the forest trails and viewing terrace are partly uneven, offering limited wheelchair access.

6. 16:00 - 17:30 Free time — city centre· 90 dk

   Rest and free exploration (~1.5 hours).
