Enjoy an excursion outside of Istanbul and into the green hills and countryside of Bursa, the first capital of the Ottomans. Nearby there is a wonderful chance to soak up the old world ambience in the picturesque village of Cumalikizik.
WHAT YOU VISIT
Pick up from your hotel. Set
off on the drive to Bursa (about 1.5-2 hours drive) outside
of Istanbul. During the journey we stop off at one of
Turkey's protected heritage sites under the slopes of Uludag
Mountain - the traditional village of Cumalikizik, with
idyllic countryside setting.
Here you will enjoy a stroll
around the charming old village center and see the wooden
Ottoman houses of the hospitable locals. Following a lunch
break, we continue on to Bursa itself, the first capital of
the Ottomans. While exploring this small city you will see
the Green Mosque & Tomb, the Grand Mosque, famous for its
beautiful Seljuk wall calligraphy, the Silk Market and the
Covered Bazaar.
The return journey begins and
we take a scenic route through the hills of Uludag and Mount
Olympos. Return drive to Istanbul and drop off to your
hotel.
