Itinerary Overview
Trade Istanbul’s bustle for a full day in Bursa, the former Ottoman capital, on a journey that begins with a scenic ferry ride from the Eskihisar terminal. As you cross the water, take in views of the countryside and seaside before arriving in a city known for chestnuts, honey, olive oil, and Turkish delight.
The day’s centerpiece is Uludag Mountain (Olympos Mountain), where a barbecue lunch awaits amid the serene mountain atmosphere. Afterward, free time opens the door to optional activities such as ATV safaris, ski motors, or skiing (transportation and ski equipment not included). Weather permitting, a cable car ride rewards you with breathtaking views.
Back in the city, the tour turns to Bursa’s Ottoman heritage. Step inside the Bursa Grand Mosque (Ulu Camii), admire the Green Mosque (Yesil Camii), and pause at the Green Mausoleum (Yesil Turbe), the royal tomb. Then wander Koza Han, the silk market tucked inside the Covered Bazaar, and see a remarkable 600-year-old pine tree before the evening transfer back to your Istanbul hotel.
With hotel pick-up and drop-off, an English-speaking guide, entrance fees, and lunch included, this 14-hour day trip is an effortless way to experience one of Turkiye’s most storied cities.
