From 500's to 1500's Turks and Mongols dominated the world's battlefields. This success was thanks to the technology of composite curved bows. In this tour, we will learn the history of archery and then specifically focus on Turksh-Ottoman archery. At the end of the tour, I will teach you archery in our private archery range.
Depending on the hotel we can meet at the hotel or our meeting point will be Archers Lodge

Guide fee, museum entrance, some compliments, renting fee of bow-arrow and private range.

Depending on my availability I can work any day. Sundays Grand bazaar is closed
This is a private entity. So sometimes the place is closed because of certain events and competitions. Please contact me beforehand so we can arrange the days.
This is an experience-based tour so there will be sportive activity. If you are new to archery I recommend you wear something with long sleeves, because it is possible that the bowstring might hit your arm and cause a little pain. Also, for sensitive skin, you can bring a small glove to protect your left arm from arrow cuts.
