Trip Itinerary

İstanbul
Day 1-6
Our Journey starts at one of Istanbul's airports, and in each one there are affordable ways to reach Istanbul, either by bus or taxi. Our residence is very easy to reach, and a metro station is close by. Our HQ (residence) for our stay in Istanbul is a rooftop penthouse, near the touristic landmark of the Galata tower. With 360 degrees view, you can see both the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus straight, with the red bricks of rooftops littering your field of view. Our residence has a dedicated working space, Wi-Fi and a Jacuzzi🤩. Public transportation is cheap, accessible and very convenient.

Beyoğlu
Day 6
No better way to unwind, relax and warm up after a day of work on our laptops than this : The ultimate in Istanbul luxury, just also happens to be delightfully steamy and warm. We will have exclusive and full access to a traditional Turkish spa with Hammam & Sauna, just few steps away from our HQ. . Its available everyday its just takes 2 hours to warm everything and its good to go exclusively for the whole group for just few Liras.

Saltbae Burger Nişantaşı
Day 6
I am a foodie, love it or hate it. The thing I appreciate is a really good burger🍔 , and a decently cooked steak🥩. Although, there is a lot of places to try out in this city, I think this is a must try. Let me know if there is any particular place you wanna try, there is a lot of time and our trip is super flexible.

Bursa
Day 6-7
Bursa is our next destination, its easy to reach from Istanbul, our safest and fastest option is the IDO ferry. It's best to take the metro to the port a few days early to buy tickets and though prices vary a bit, ours only cost 53 lira / 10 usd each for the round trip. The ferry ride takes 1 hour and 45 minutes and will drop you at the IDO ferry port outside of Bursa. From here, there are still a few more steps to reach the city center. There are Good restaurants and sights and bazaars to see, and we can spend a night or two. A must try is a famous Bursa treat – ice cream topped with warm semolina halva – at a small shop called Haci Serif. However the main reason of visiting this city is our next destination.
5
Uludag National Park
Day 7-8
From Bursa city center we are gonna take one of the longest cable cars in the world, to the Uludag National Park. The cable car costs 15 USD for the round trip, but the 45 minute ride from the cityscape to the snow topped trees🌲🌳🌲 and mountain landscape is worth every penny. There are many activities to do like hiking in the picturesque trails, ski and places to stay, if you're that outdoorsy we can take a lodge in the mountains as well 😉. All of you Skiing enthusiasts, don't bring your gear with you, we can rent whatever we want for a small fee, from ski equipment to snowboards and sleds.

İstanbul
Day 8-14
We will be back by ferry to Istanbul, to enjoy our warm Hammam once again. There is a lot more to do, and landmarks to see, bazaars to visit, thick Turkish coffee to be had, and maybe if we are lucky take a few pictures of Istanbul and its landmarks in the snow. Remember, if you have anything else you wanna try in Istanbul, let me know.
