Istanbul: Bursa and Uludag Nature Trip

Take a break from the busy city and discover the natural beauty of Bursa and Mount Uludag while we take care of all the transportation. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey.

Your day starts with a comfortable pickup from centrally located hotels in Istanbul, followed by a transfer to the ferry port. From there, you’ll enjoy a pleasant cruise across the Sea of Marmara, with scenic views along the way.

After arriving, the first stop is in Yalova. Here you can either join an optional ATV quad safari for an adrenaline-filled experience through natural trails, or simply enjoy about an hour of free time surrounded by fresh air and greenery.

Continuing toward Bursa, you’ll stop at a local shop معروف for Turkish Delight, where you can enjoy free tastings along with a cup of traditional Turkish tea.

Upon reaching Bursa, the journey continues to the foothills of Mount Uludag. From here, you have the option to take a cable car ride up the mountain, offering breathtaking panoramic views. Guests who prefer not to use the cable car will be transported by vehicle.

At Mount Uludag, you’ll have time to enjoy the fresh mountain air, take photos, or choose an optional round-trip chairlift ride to reach one of the highest accessible points at around 2,543 meters.

Afterward, enjoy a late lunch at a cozy restaurant surrounded by pine forests, providing a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

Following lunch, there will be another short shopping stop where you can taste a wide variety of homemade Turkish jams (around 40 types), along with complimentary coffee.

On the way down, visit the famous Inkaya Plane Tree — one of the oldest monumental trees in the country, perfect for photos and a quiet break.

The tour then continues with a visit to the beautiful Green Mosque and Green Tomb, known for their stunning Iznik tile decorations.

Before heading back, enjoy one last stop at a historic 400-year-old building, once used as a hammam, where you can browse silk products and handmade mosaic lamps.

At the end of the day, relax on the return journey to Istanbul, followed by drop-off at your hotel.
