Trip Itinerary
1

Bursa Intercity Bus Terminal

Day 1-2
On the first day, we will meet at the bus terminal towards the evening. We will rent a car there and drive to the house where we will stay. But before we settle in, we're going to eat out and do some grocery shopping. I think this way we will get to know each other better... At the end of the day, we will check in and rest...
2

Bursa

Day 2-3
On the second day, after breakfast, we will go on a city tour. In general, our day will be spent walking, but there will be times when we will need a car... We will discover the Ottoman heritage in the city. After visiting the "Muradiye Kulliyesi", we will see the historical clock tower, the tomb of Osman Gazi (the founder of the Ottoman Empire), Koza Han (the oldest shopping center of the city), the Old Aynalı Bazaar, the Grand Mosque and the Yesil Turbe (Green Tomb). During the day we will eat in a restaurant or have a snack and relax/look at the photos we took. 😉😌
3

Zeytinbağı

Day 3-4
On our third day, we will drive to the "Trilye" district. 🎣 After having breakfast, we will spend the day touring this small port city. We will see the houses, churches, and more that are left of the Greek people who lived in Trilye. Trilye is famous for its olives. We will have the chance to see many products made from olives! We will also have a chance to have a nice fish dinner as the people make their living by fishing. At the end of the day, we will return to the city.
4

Gölyazı

Day 4-5
We will spend our fourth day in "Gölyazı". We will set off early and meet the sunrise in "Gölyazı". We can take great pictures!! After having our breakfast in front of the beautiful view, we will wander the streets and around the island. Here also there are Greek churches, temples and historical houses... After visiting the city, we will take a boat tour on the lake. After watching the sunset at "Zambak Tepe", we will have a nice dinner and return to our accommodation. :)
5

Cumalıkızık

Day 5-6
On our last day, we will check out from our accommodation, but the places we will visit are not finished yet :) We will have breakfast in "Cumalıkızık", an old Ottoman village, and visit its unique houses and streets. After exploring this village during the day, we will return to the intercity bus terminal. We will return the car we rented there. Then we will leave with good memories...
