Designed for those who want to closely explore both the cultural and geological riches of Uşak, this route offers maximum experience in limited time.

You start the day by examining the ruins of the Blaundus Antik Kenti, one of the region's historically significant Hellenistic settlements surrounded by a deep valley. Following this impressive city founded after Alexander the Great's Anatolian campaign, you turn your route to the fascinating Ulubey Kanyonu, known as the second longest canyon in the world.
