About About the place

The King Rock Tombs at Amasya are a significant historical site, believed to have been constructed by the Mithridat dynasty of Pontus. These tombs are carved into the steep cliffs overlooking the city, approximately 100 meters above the Yeşilırmak River. Access involves climbing a considerable number of steps, but the effort is rewarded with stunning views of Amasya and its surrounding landscape. The site consists of multiple tombs, divided into sections accessible via different paths. While the tombs themselves are largely empty chambers, their historical and architectural significance, combined with the scenic location, makes them a popular attraction.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.
