Smileys Day Trip to Eskişehir

Let’s get out of Istanbul for the day and explore Eskişehir together!

Known for its youthful energy, colorful streets, riverside cafés and relaxed atmosphere, Eskişehir is one of Türkiye’s most enjoyable cities for a day trip.

We’ll spend the day exploring the city, walking along the Porsuk River, discovering the historic Odunpazarı neighborhood, stopping for local food and coffee, and simply enjoying a different side of Türkiye with an international group.
