First Day

You can start the day with a delicious breakfast on the Zonguldak coastal area and continue by with a visit to the Cane Museum in Devrek. Then you can visit the Ancient City of Tios and Filyos Castle and enjoy the charming atmosphere of Gökgöl Cave, adorned with travertines, stalagmites and stalactites. At the Zonguldak Mining Museum and Training Centre, you can observe the history of the tools used in coal mining from the past to the present, as well as the working conditions of miners, meters below the ground, via various simulations.

While going to Varagel Tunnel, another symbol of Zonguldak, you should prefer to go on foot. You can take an enjoyable walk under the shade of monumental trees, each of which is at least 200 years old, on a road that can be described as a monumental tree tunnel. Enjoy a fine dinner in the evening, to top off the day.

Second Day
