There is no trip to Turkey which is complete without visiting Bursa. As the final stop on the Silk Road, and the first major capital of the Ottaman Empire, Bursa has an extremely rich cultural heritage. Known as ‘Green Bursa’ because of its parks and gardens, this full – day trip explores the verdant city nestled at the foot of Uludag (ancient Mt. Olympus), near by villages and natural wonders. In Bursa we travel through 7000 years of culture and history, experiencing the early Ottoman period and Bursa’s role as a trade center. After a lunch of famous Iskender Kebab we visit the Ulu Mosque and Green Mausoleum monuments from the early Ottoman period. Before continuing on to Cumalikizik village, the last remaning Ottoman village with well – preserved Ottoman architectural. On our return to Istanbul, relax by a secluded ad tranquill waterfall created by the snow melt from Uludag mountain.
