Your day begins with a hotel pickup in Istanbul and a scenic drive to the ferry terminal. You’ll board a ferry to cross the Marmara Sea, where you can relax and take in the tranquil water views and city skyline from a unique perspective. After arriving on the southern coast, the journey continues toward the lush green landscapes of Bursa, Turkey’s first capital under the Ottoman Empire. Before heading to the mountains, you’ll stop by a local Turkish delight and honey center — a great place to taste authentic sweets and shop for souvenirs.
Next, make your way to the majestic Uludağ Mountain. If the weather allows, you’ll ascend via a scenic cable car ride, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the forested slopes and city below. In winter, enjoy snow activities such as sledding or snowball fun at the summit (optional). During other seasons, take a relaxing nature walk or snap stunning photos from the viewing areas. After the mountain visit, a delicious lunch awaits you at a traditional Turkish restaurant surrounded by nature — with grilled meats, fresh salads, and local specialties.
In the afternoon, discover the deep-rooted heritage of Bursa with a guided visit to the iconic Green Mosque (Yeşil Camii) and the Green Tomb (Yeşil Türbe), both showcasing the city’s elegant Ottoman-Islamic architecture. Continue with free time at the Silk Market and the covered Grand Bazaar, famous for its authentic silk products, handmade crafts, and colorful spice stalls. After an enriching cultural experience and a day well spent in nature and history, begin your return journey to Istanbul — traveling by ferry and vehicle with hotel drop-off in the evening.
