Best place for kite and windsurfing and not only! Beautiful nature, kind people, excellent food! Highly recommend!
Awesome place not only to learn and practice windsurfing and kitesurfing with the passionate and skilled people from Crazy Island, but also to relax, enjoy the sea and feel you're part of the community! Always coming back here with pleasure!
Here in Crazy island windsurf and kite center you can find one of the best kite- and windsurf instructors around. The area is very well organized and one can easily access the beachfront. If you want to learn how to kitesurf and windsurf,this is the place . Definitely recommended!
Cool and patient instructors, plethora of equipment, awesome conditions for beginners and pros.
They are surely going to waste your time(apart from wind condition),i dont think that their equipment and lecturers are inadequate or careless but they are not faithful to their words so dont wait them ,just go to another school,
Ps. This comment only about kitesurf lessons
Edit after your answer: I totally understood that i could have a lesson only after booked lessons at that time, there is no problem with that. Thing is, you guys told me that you are going to call me when we try to scheduling my lesson. And i remember instructor guy told me to be there at a time which as we agreed on, i was there, condition was perfect, but no one was there :) so i wait, then only after i learned that he is on a lesson, that's okay but couldn't you just inform me like you said, before your BOOKED lesson? if you had informed me, i wouldn't wasted my time, as simple as that. Anyways, thx for your good wishes, it's all good. But with all respect, i am going to stick with my comment. Hope you understand and pay attention to my honest review in order to be a better place. Wish you all the best.
Great place for windsurfing with good offshore wind and flat water. The hosts are very nice. Moni is a great freestyle rider eager to share his skills with anyone interested. Have fun!
Excellent people, amazing staff. Best flatwater spot in Turkey by far. The equipments are the best you can find around, fairly new and up to date. They also offer great services for beginners.

Would definitely recommend coming to see this place. We were lucky and we were the only ones here. So much history. Every single soldier who died has been remembered by having their name engraved on the wall.
Tara P — Google review
The main Commonwealth battle memorial for the whole Gallipoli campaign, also commemorating the 20,956 Commonwealth servicemen with no known grave who died in the campaign in 1915–1916, during the First World War.
There are also panels for those who died or were buried at sea in Gallipoli waters.
Well maintained with ample parking. Memorial is used as the site for the British Commemorative Service around ANZAC Day.
I'll use this one location to review the whole of the southern part of the peninsular.
Directions and signage is clear, roads are modern and wide, and information boards in English and Turkish (with some in French and German too) are interspersed along the route. The war graves are immaculate and well worth walking around.
Places to park exist at the big monuments, but not too many on the roads. There are shops in villages on the route where you can buy snacks and water/drinks, but it is worth taking some with you. Very little shade so if it's sunny take an umbrella.
Very moving to be there and to see my great grandfather's submarine chiseled intimate the wall.
We stopped at “Cape Helles” on the remote tip of the Gallipoli Peninsula to visit the British Commonwealth’s “Helles Memorial”. All of the Aus. & NZ units which fought between April to Dec 1915 are honoured here. Very moving.
Great view and understanding of the beach landing locations.
This memorial was unveiled in 1924 for the soliders who do not have a known grave by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. It is almost 30 meters and very glorious. The most crowded place of Gallipoli War Zone is the main Martials' Memorial and here is pretty quite. There is a huge parking lot in front of it. It is very close to Fort Ertuğrul as well and you can visit them both at the same time. This is one of the important places that you should not miss to see if your visiting Gallipoli.
A must see from the Allies perspective. We were the only visitors and the views are outstanding across to Greece.

Canakkale Martyrs Monument
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Huge seaside arch commemorating soldiers who participated in the Battle of Gallipoli during WWI.
Impressive and powerful monument. We sailed past it and it could be seen from miles offshore. A fitting and yet small monument in comparison to the width, breadth and weight of the Gallipoli campaign.
A C — Google review
This monument was built in memory of the Turkish soldiers who were martyred in Çanakkale. You can also see the tombstones here to commemorate the soldiers and the names of the soldiers and the places they were born are written on the stones.
Amazing - The spectacular “Turkish Çanakkale Martyrs Memorial” overlooks Morto Bay and the Straits of the Dardanelles. It was very impressive (it is sort of like the Canberra War Memorial). Very moving.
Impressive Architecture and National Pride. A towering and well-designed memorial that dominates and peninsula, visible from miles away over the Dardanelles. It perfectly honors the estimated 253,000 Turkish soldiers who fell here.
Visiting Canakkale and
Gallipoli is an unforgettable and emotional experience. The atmosphere here is filled with deep respect, sorrow, and pride. Standing among the memorials and cemeteries, you can truly feel the weight of history and the shared humanity that emerged from such a tragic war.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s words to the mothers of the Anzac soldiers in 1934 perfectly capture the spirit of peace and reconciliation that defines this sacred place:
“Heroes who shed their blood on the soil of this country!
You are here in the soil of a friendly homeland.
Rest in peace and tranquility.
You are side by side with our soldiers.
Mothers who sent their sons to war from distant lands!
Dry your tears.
Your sons are in our bosom, in peace, and they will sleep soundly.
After giving their lives on this land, they have become our sons.”
These words reflect Atatürk’s extraordinary compassion and vision — a leader who, even after fierce battle, could speak of love, unity, and shared humanity.
Gallipoli is not just a battlefield; it is a symbol of peace, respect, and eternal remembrance. Visiting here reminds us that bravery, sacrifice, and reconciliation can transcend borders and generations.
When you decide to visit Canakkale you must add this place to your trip. Monuments and graveyards are really important for every turk while you trip you have to be respectful that
A massive monument to the Turkish soldiers who fought and died fighting the Anzacs, British and French.
The Çanakkale Martyrs’ Monument (Çanakkale Şehitler Anıtı) stands as a powerful and emotional tribute to the Turkish soldiers who lost their lives during the Gallipoli Campaign (1915) in World War I. Here's a brief on its touching meaning:
1. Symbol of Sacrifice: The monument honors the immense bravery and sacrifice of the Turkish soldiers who defended their homeland against a larger and better-equipped Allied force. Many of these soldiers were very young—some just teenagers.
2. National Unity and Resilience: The monument represents the unity of the Turkish people from all regions who came together during a critical moment in history. It marks a defining point in the Turkish national consciousness.
3. Legacy of Peace: Despite being a site of immense bloodshed, Gallipoli is also remembered for the mutual respect between enemies. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s words to the mothers of fallen foreign soldiers (“You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country…”) show deep humanity and have become an enduring message of reconciliation.
4. Emotional Impact: The size, design, and solemnity of the monument evoke a strong emotional response in visitors—reminding them of the cost of war and the value of peace and freedom.
Would you like a poetic reflection or a visual description of the monument as well?

Anzac Bay Beach is a poignant cove steeped in history, marking the landing site of ANZAC forces during World War I's Gallipoli campaign. The area is adorned with beautifully maintained memorials that pay tribute to the brave soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. Visitors can appreciate the stunning views while safely parking along designated spots to reflect on this significant location.

Breathtaking. It was quiet, peaceful and offered an opportunity to see what all of those young men from all sides went through. Unbelievable bravery from all soldiers who gave their lives for their country.
Truly emotional experience
Glad we got there, a little difficult to reach as words are pronounced differently and locals don't speak English all road signs in turkish
It was a very rewarding day, spent on the Gallipoli Peninsula.
We started in a unique way, on board a boat and approaching “Ari Burnu” (ie ANZAC Cove) from the sea - much as the ‘diggers’ did some 100 years ago. What a perspective.
Beautiful experience and highly recommend to anyone visiting turkey. The Turkish government has done a wonderful job with the memorials for the ANZAC soldiers. A tour guide will take you around the land and show you all the important spots. Anzac cove was breathtaking and it was very moving.
Beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I think the amount of care Turkey puts into maintaining this historic site is wonderful. Ataturk should be proud ❤️
An extremely moving experience. The care and effort that is put in to this site is evident through the well maintain sights. There are lots of places on the side of the road to park safely and pay your respects.
A very intriguing place to visit if only you feel strong enough not to break down and cry...

The sea was not clear and wavy
But it was nice that they always collected the garbage. Since we went on a Sunday, it was very crowded in the afternoon. Disturbing
There are cigarette butts everywhere, very bad. The water in the shower area is very low and you can't take a shower

(Translated by Google) The sea is very windy, I can't help but wonder if the sea is windy. We rented a sunbed for 250 liras, went to eat, and came back to the cafeteria there. Our umbrella was stolen. We told the attendant that the umbrella would be coming. I've already paid for it, why do I have to wait? There's a staff member there. Can't you take care of it? We go and talk to the place we paid at, and they say it's stolen. They follow us around until we pay, and then come back with an excuse like it's stolen? We go to the official, and the official is harsh and says we want a refund, but I won't see you here. You won't use it anyway. What am I supposed to do without an umbrella in this heat? Definitely, I'll give this one point to the officials.

Gallipoli Peninsula Historical National Park

History museum

Gallipoli Peninsula Historical National Park is a significant site that holds the history of the Gallipoli campaign during World War I. This location is renowned for its unconventional warfare and symbolizes valiant efforts and mutual respect between nations. Visiting this park offers an opportunity to delve into the historical impact of the war and pay homage to the bravery and patriotism displayed by those involved.
Incredibly moving and emotional place for Aussies to visit. I shed a few tears as the sad loss of life of all the young men that died here. Such a respectful place and tribute to our anzacs, the Turks and French and British and even Indians who gave their life in these battles. A must see for Aussies

Just FYI!
These pictures are from the War Museum, which is 4 MINS driving from this specific location, don’t get confused!
Not the best indicated, a bit confusing and less information than expected.
If you drive to this specific location/building, you will not be able to enter.
To go to the War Museum drive further in that road and then turn to the right when you see it indicated.
Beautiful and moving site which gives insight into the history surrounding the founding of the Turkish Republic. One of the most impactful locations on the Gallipoli peninsula.
The size of this park in terms of territory and how the people of Turkey have kept history alive is truly impressive. Moreover, the cleanliness and maintenance of all monuments deserves admiration. Can really meet global criteria. It’s definitely worth the visit but give yourself at least two or three days if you want to see everything. Also beware of turtles! 🐢☺️
Great time spent here. Moment of reflection for the legendaries, braveries and patriotism of a people led by the strong faith in their heart and readiness to sacrifice their lives and souls for the future of only their people but all the marginalised and underprivileged people of the world. This peninsula witnessed a war where all the odds were against the Turks but their faith and bravery won them a legend unequalled anywhere in the history of the world.
It is a great location in the history of WW1 and Turkish history as well. It can be done on a single day from Istanbul. The presence of a good guide I think is essential, since it is difficult to be appraised of the entire history of events or their significance.
I lived in Australia and New Zealand for a few years and Gallipoli is almost a founding myth in those respective countries.
It was fascinating to come here and see the place and battle(s) I heard so much about.
What was really interesting was also to see it from Ottoman/Turkish perspective. What's amazing about the whole complex is how the winning side the Turks have almost dedicated it to losing side renaming the landing area to Anzac cove etc. I can't think of anywhere else where such a thing has happened.
I did a tour which you almost have to do. It's a big site so walking and local buses are not a realistic prospect. It was really hot so bring water and sunscreen but most of all if you have heard of Gallipoli and have any interest in it absolutely worth a visit.
The trip of my life! I wanted to visit the gallipoli peninsula all my life. Now that I got here and I attended a tour program I get to learn all that I wanted to learn first handedly. The weather is good but could be better. So maybe later in May or even June is better timing for the Gallipoli visit. The tour costs only ₺70 per person lunch included.

(Translated by Google) The Çanakkale Kilitbahir Village Namazgah Museum, which we visited on October 15th, transports visitors directly into the firing line of the Gallipoli Campaign with its restored trenches, ammunition depots, and defensive lines. Its strategic location on the strait offers breathtaking panoramic views. The detailed signage and fluid flow of the exhibitions make it effortless to recreate the events of the past; you feel the dust, noise, and emotion of those challenging days in your bones. Furthermore, Ms. Cahide Hanım, who works at the museum entrance and in the Namazgah Museum store, impressed us with her cheerful response to all our questions, her knowledge of every subject, and her dedication to her country. It's definitely worth a visit! A unique place that anyone interested in history should visit!

Museums
The Military Marine Museum is a vast indoor and outdoor venue that showcases historical sailing vessels, cannons, and other military artillery. The museum includes exhibits on the Canakkale war, Cimenlik Castle, and the Nusret Mine Ship. While admission for students is free, adults must pay 13 Liras to enter. Visitors can expect to spend around two hours exploring the fascinating displays inside the museum.
This afternoon we wandered around the city and visited Çimenlik Castle (built 1462). Over the centuries it has been one of two twin fortresses that protect the narrows of the Dardanelles. It was last used as a strategic defence position in WWI and is now a museum. It gave an account of WWI from the Turks perspective.
Norm P — Google review
The first thing to know about this museum is that the price at the gate is higher than what is posted on the official website. The website says that the entrance fee is 90 Turkish lira, but upon arrival we were informed that the price was 400 Turkish lira. We were told that we could only pay with a Turkish bank card or with cash.
We were surprised and dismayed at the price difference between what was officially posted on the website and what the guards insisted that we pay at the gate.
The next thing to know is that the bathroom is located outside of the museum near the cafe. There is no bathroom once you pass through the entry gates.
This museum is comprised of both indoor and outdoor exhibits. You will be walking outside so plan to dress appropriately for the weather on the day of your visit.
There are steps to navigate to get to the inside parts of the museum. We saw a couple struggling to get a baby stroller down the stone steps, which were uneven. This could be a difficult place to get through if you have physical mobility limitations or if you have a baby stroller.
This was an interesting place to visit, but we left disappointed about the discrepancy in the listed entrance fee and what was posted on the official website. It felt like we did not get value for the money we paid.
Great place to visit in Çanakkale. The entrance fee is 400 TL for adults and 200 for students, but it's worth every penny. With the ticket you can visit both a medieval fortress, a submarine 😱, and a ship that was planting mines in WWI. Getting inside a real submarine is quite a rare experience and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
What a perfect conservation of the history. Beautifle expositions and reallistic videos. Strongly recommend to visit this museum. It is full with history about the Ottoman empire and Turkiye Republic. It is a worth to visit it.
Excellent museum with a rich collection. Çimenlik Kalesi that hosts the museum is historically remarkable and impressive. The visit takes about 3 hours including the S338 submarine and Nusret minelayer.
Nice castle, surrounded by old armaments with a lot of history, specialty form the WW1 and the Galipoli battle, You can visita a first war germany submarine, and old ship and the museum itself, full of history about the important battle.
The museum is inside the Ottoman castle, Çimenlik Kalesi, which used to be our destination to spend time by the seaside sitting on a bench in the good old days. Now you get access only by buying a ticket, which is sad. Yet inside the castle, they created a great atmosphere of memories of Canakkale Battle. Inside the castle, you may spend some relaxing time even though you don't like the war stuff, because the castle is really beautiful under the dim yellow light.
We paid 200tl even with museum cards and residence permits. It worth it. It’s not only open air area, you also can go to the castle and learn about its history. However, it’s impossible to go to the top of the castle

The Trojan Statue is a towering steel and fiberglass sculpture of the horse from Greek mythology, famously used in the 2004 movie 'Troy.' It was gifted to the city of Canakkale, located approximately 25 kilometers from the ancient city of Troy. Situated near the sea amidst numerous restaurants and cafes, it boasts a small open-air museum showcasing a model of ancient Troy.
Such a great history this place has. If you visit the city , don’t forget to swing by here. There is no parking nearby so you need to park the car and walk here.

A homage to the ancient city of Troy located not too far away. This statue is on the waterfront surrounded by shops, cafes and restaurants. It actually long more authentic than the Trojan Horse erected at the ancient site.
I visited the Trojan Horse statue with my tour group. It was nice to see the famous landmark up close, especially knowing it was used in the Troy movie. Its big and i dont know how was it used in the movie, it’s a great photo spot and a fun quick stop if you’re visiting with a group.
The horse from Brad Pitts Troy movie. Given as a gift to Canakkale. It's more impressive than the other one at Troy.
Hollywood History on the Harbour. This is the actual Trojan Horse used in 2004 movie Troy. A great landmark that clearly ties the modern city to the ancient history of the region. Free to visit.
You should see it once. It's amazing. A big wooden horse for the movie. The view from there is next to the pier. It's soooooo beautiful.
Was a nice thing to see. It was donated to the city after the making of the movie Troy.
Nothing to write home about though...
A must-see for history buffs and movie lovers! This iconic statue brings to life the legendary tale of the Trojan Horse, a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. The scale of the statue is impressive, and it's a great photo opportunity.
For those unfamiliar, the story goes: The Greeks, unable to conquer the fortified city of Troy through conventional means, devised a cunning plan. They built a giant wooden horse, supposedly an offering to the gods, and left it outside the city gates. Hidden within the horse were Greek soldiers who, under the cover of night, emerged and opened the gates for the Greek army, leading to the fall of Troy.
This statue gained further fame after appearing in the 2004 movie "Troy," starring Brad Pitt. Even if you're not a history buff, the statue is a fascinating piece of art and a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling.

I suppose it is the most famous tomp (there are a lot) in Gallipoli. Locals come here with a Turkish flag and attached the flag around the tomp and make a wish to hope that comes true with a prayer. If that wish comes true, they repeat the process. Whishes generally are child, wellness, house, car, etc. you name it.
It's an interesting place.
Make a wish it comes true

Very Good:)
Inspiring!!!

I complained about a pair of pants here and it was processed after about 10 weeks.
The goods were torn on the buttocks immediately after 1 month, so I couldn't complain straight away because I live abroad.
Mavi's service is one of the worst I've ever experienced
One star is already too much for this brand!

Ayazma Spring Nature Park
Mentioned on
National reserve
Nature & Parks
Ayazma Spring Nature Park is a serene and idyllic reserve offering stunning views of streams, waterfalls, and tree-lined hiking trails. The park's natural beauty is unparalleled and visitors can even drink fresh spring water from the creek. However, access to the park can be difficult due to poor road conditions and limited parking during busy days. Entrance fees are currently 14 TL per car. The park has some cafes but many visitors prefer to bring their own food and beverages.
Good place to hike and get away from city life. Nice walking routes

It is the weather, cold and the unique conditions which deserved 3 stars, yes, i guess so 🤔. Otherwise the nature is nature enough, benefitting the solitude of the winter. If I happened to be here in summer time, I would have hated the crowd and their barbecues
Nature at its best. You can drink fresh ice cold water from the creek. Roads en route to the gate are poor and dangerous. Parking is problematic in busy days. Better leave early in the morning on weekends or holidays. As of 2018 the entry fee is 14 TL per car. There are some cafes inside but most people bring their own food and drinks. You can walk and climb up the hill but it's challenging.
The place is like heaven
İt is very nice, quite and clean
The waterfall is amazing
It is very beautiful place for walking and tracking
Breathtaking beauty of nature. And don't forget to eat fish or breakfast in "Ida sofra" Mr. Barlas's place.. was amazing
It's a magic place. Reccomend to visit
Very cold and delicious water, very nice forests you may see, main ground looks like a picnic point but around gives you nice trekking options without any disturbance

(Translated by Google) We couldn't find the way, but there are beautiful places. You cannot go alone, it is important to go with someone who knows. Even though there are people who describe it from the village, it is difficult because there are olive groves everywhere. I was with a small baby and I returned without much courage. I still share the photos I took along the way.

Kuşcenneti Milli Parkı
National park
Nature & Parks
Lakeside park with look-out tower to spot migrating birds like herons, pelicans & cormorants.
An estimated 255 species of birds visit Bird Paradise National Park at the edge of Kuş Gölü, the lake formerly known as Manyas Gölü. Loca ted on the great migratory paths between Europe and Asia, the park is a happy combination of plant cover, reedbeds and a lake that supports at least 20 species of fish. The park will delight amateur and professional birdwatchers alike, and a good field guide and some mosquito repellent will enhance the experience. At the entrance to the park, there is a small museum with displays about various birds. Binoculars are provided at the desk and visitors make their way to an observation tower. Two main groups of birds visit the lake: those that come here to breed (March–July), and those that pass by during migration, either heading south (November) or north (April–May). Among the birds that breed around the lake are the endangered Dalmatian pelican, the great crested grebe, cormorants, herons, bitterns and spoonbills. Over three million birds fly across the area on their migratory routes – storks, cranes, pelicans and birds of prey like sparrowhawks and spotted eagles. April and May are the best months to enjoy this area. Close to the main park area, there is a restaurant that serves fresh trout, and it is a good spot to break for lunch.

Probably went at the wrong time of day but barely saw some flamingos in the distance. Have to pay to get in and olits really small and you have to pay to use the telescope in the only tower. Not worth it.
Lovely park, however the best view you get is from the live stream screens in the museum. The tower is a good idea, 1 lira to use the telescopes where you cannot adjust focus or zoom. Overall the live feeds were amazing, but I wish the telescopes were better and that you could walk around more
I was there 30 years ago. My memory was a huge wild forest. It is now looks like a mansion garden. It is possible to see some pelicans and other sea birds like flamingo. Or you can visit museum and check filled birds.
No picnic area in there, overall its good national park
The road from balikesir took an hour to reach to the bird paradise kus cenneti entrance for adult is 35 tl when u enter on the right side there is a small display room for the birds which will take 10 minutes to finish then u can head to the tower unfortunately the lift was broken so no chance for elderly people to go up, at roof only 2 binoculars are working and u need the 1tl coin to work it
Few birds were spotted may be because it is summer
Place is small in general and need more attention
No cafes or stores are available inside
It's a nice place to visit. There is a birds museum but it's not very big, you can see only local birds there. You can also sit in the chair and watch birds online from cameras placed over the natural park. The thing I liked most is a possibility to watch birds. You can take binoculars for free and watch birds from the Birds watching tower.
The national park is only about 20 minutes away from Bandirma but, the minibus station from which minibuses drive to the park is a little far from the city centre. There are minibus services to the park and back a few times during the day. The park itself is worth to see from my opinion as there are not many other places to visit in Bandirma. The park has a little museum in which you can find taxidermy birds common in the park. There is also a watch tower from where you can watch birds nesting, etc. You might borrow a pair of binoculars from the museum to see the birds in a better manner. The park is so quite and far from city noise pollution. So, it could be a unique experience for you particularly if you enjoy birdwatching. The villagers at the nearby village are also friendly and helpful.

Visitors have shared their experiences of enjoying delicious snacks, like amazing potatoes, and appreciating the friendly service from staff members. However, it's worth noting that many amenities close by 11 PM, which can be inconvenient for late-night travelers.

Hiking area
Waterfall dropping off a sheer cliff into natural pools ringed by forest greenery & picnic benches.
A great place to visit for a short trip. There’s also a forest with camping space and a place for fireworks so you can bring something with you and chill in the quite forest area. You need to take care of kids because this place is not super safe for them. Also a wheelchair access missed but you can watch everything from panoramic view terrace on the entry. A parking space is free here.
Roman R — Google review
Suuçtu Waterfall near Mustafakemalpaşa, Bursa, is a serene and scenic natural wonder. Surrounded by lush green forest, the waterfall cascades elegantly over a high rock face, creating a peaceful atmosphere ideal for a picnic or nature walk. The cool mist and the sound of falling water provide a refreshing escape from the summer heat. It’s also great for photography and relaxing by the rocks. Easily accessible and family-friendly, Suuçtu is a perfect spot for a short nature
A splendid place. Natural waterfalls, beautiful forest and, at the same time, all the conveniences such as benches, toilets and a cafe.
Be sure to walk a bit down the river stream — there are less people there and the nature is more authentic.
Tickets are bought at the car gates and cost 30 TL per car.
Great place and great photo opportunity but way undeserved with almost zero facilities (except to small convience shop).
The toalit is located on a relatively high piece of land, very inconvenient to the less able people.
The pictures are self explanatory.
⛰️Peaceful, majestic, and awe inspiring. I went here in mid March and I had the waterfall to myself.
Getting here from Bursa
➡️ Go to main bus station, take bus to Mustafakemalpaşa (50L)
➡️ Taxi to suuçtu (250TL) I'm sure you can bargain for less but my taxi driver was awesome and joined me on my adventure plus the drive is 20-30 min.
There's typically a bus that goes to the next town but this was off season so it wasn't available. My only option was a taxi.
✅ Free entry (at least when I went)
Be careful the rocks are extremely slippery.
I wish I could have went hiking but it was so muddy I wasn't able to walk very far before going back. I spent about an hour there but you can easily spend several hours if you wanted to hike.
Perfect place for nature lovers. Butterflies and birds all around. Water is cold and simply beautiful overall atmosphere. Loved it!
Simply amazing! Definitely a must see!
The place is magical with the great view and fresh air. The administration did a great job organising and keeping the place clean. After you are done admiring the natural beauty of the waterfall there is even a great picnic place with tables where you can enjoy your time and if you aren't prepared for a picnic then the cafe by the road is a perfect choice.
Being there was like a dream. At the first time seeing I was amazed. Even my two years of daughter amazed. Suuçtu word which is Turkish means water fly. Waterfall is made of stone. All its part is stone. There are picnic ares around the waterfall. I was there week days there was not many people but weekend seems busy. My company travelistanbul.co/ may take you this lovely place and share this God creature beauty with you. Enjoy the photos.

SADAĞI CANYON NATURE PARK
Sadağı Canyon was registered as a "Nature Park" in 2014 and its total area is 436 ha. Sadağı Canyon Nature Park is among the few canyons in Turkey with its geographical location, geological structure, biological and archaeological resource values.
The hot water source in the center of the canyon, which was used as a hunting ground by the founder of the city, Emperor Hadrianus, between 117-138 AD, was used by the emperor to build a rock bath in the canyon. The rock bath is located approximately 3 km above the entrance of the canyon and the ruins of this historical bath can still be seen today. There is a waterfall that falls from a height of 3-4 meters approximately 300 meters after the rock bath. The walking track in the canyon is surrounded by rocks, some of which are 100 meters high, and rich vegetation.
The canyon, which was on important passageways during the coma period, maintained its importance during the Ottoman Empire. The healing thermal waters in the region have been an important treatment tool for the people of the region throughout history.
Located within the Uludağ mountain range, Sadağı Canyon Nature Park is one of the important areas of the region with its different habitat types such as riparian, rocky, maquis, mixed forest and rich plant diversity. In the biodiversity inventory and research sub-project carried out within the scope of the "Sadağı Canyon Nature Park Meets Ecotourists Project" carried out by our Bursa Branch Directorate in 2015-2016 and supported by BEBKA, it was determined that 151 plant taxa belonging to 64 families were distributed in Sadağı Canyon Nature Park. Five of these plant taxa are endemic.Both of the fish species (Barbus niluferensis - Simav mustache and Squalius cii - Marmara freshwater mullet) distributed in the stream in the canyon are regional endemic. In addition, Barbus niluferensis is in the NT (Near Threatened) category according to the Red List of Threatened Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). The region is ichthyologically important due to the co-existence of two endemic species in the canyon. 18 amphibian and reptile species; a total of 51 bird species belonging to 23 families from 7 orders; and a total of 45 mammal species belonging to 15 families from 6 orders (Insectivora, Chiroptera, Rodentia, Carnivora, Lagomorpha, Artiodactyla) have been identified in the region. Among the bird species identified in the area, Aquila chrysaetos (Golden Eagle) and among the mammal species, Lutra lutra (Otter) are important flag species.

Good place to see trees and very short tracking
about 1 hour
I will come back in 2 or 3 weeks then can see deep fall color
Tracking path is a little bit unsafe for children.
It will be better stay near gate.
Nice place with river and wood Bridges. Peaceful sounds and nature, better to go in weekdays and there is caffe there and wooden sets and tables near the river at the beginning of the track.
It was amazing experience to come here. There is a very nice wooden path across the canyon. Highly recommend. Very helpful and kind service. There is also a place where can eat some food.
A stunning breathtaking park where you can enjoy the peaceful untouched nature. Also bring some picknick and BBQ stuff, cause it's definitely a place to eat some tasty food 😋
Not good for picnic, mangal is not allowed :(
Good place for a walk in a valley, but after a little walk, there is a bridge broken so you must cross the river without bridge
Absolutely beautiful location for a walk in nature. Not terribly crowded in the morning. There is a tea house. Toilet facilities. There are dedicated walking trails but you should be able to walk on rugged trails and climb on some rugged areas. Worth it

Mudanya Armistice House
Museum
Specialty Museums
Mudanya Armistice House, a 19th-century building, is a significant historical site where the 1922 treaty recognizing the Republic of Turkey was signed. The museum inside offers an immersive experience, showcasing preserved rooms from that era and the very table where the historic treaty was signed. This pivotal moment in Turkish history marked the end of the military theater of Turkish War of Independence.
Was a surprsingly nice Christmas Market ongoing when we were there end of December.

Very cool place - right infront there's a huge square with lot of resturants, cafes and bars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A beautiful and meaningful place full of history. This is where the Mudanya Armistice was signed — walking inside feels like stepping back in time. The rooms are well preserved, and you can really feel the spirit of the early years of the Republic. The staff are very kind and helpful, always ready to explain and guide you. It’s right by the sea, peaceful and elegant. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Bursa or Mudanya.
Note:closed on Mondays
It's a historical mark for Turkish Nation and the place in where the ceasefire agreement was signed and ended the military theater of Turkish War of Independence. Fun fact; even though the battle was between Turkey and Greece on the battleground, Greek representatives weren't allowed to take part of the treaty and waited in a ship nearby.
A beautiful place to discover some of details from Turkish history
Location is amazing. Coast line shops , Cafe, bars and local restaurants and retail small stands. Must visit location. The house has nothing special maybe woths visiting for 10 minutes.
A good local museum about a peace process of international significance. It's a while since I went, there was quite a bit of info in both Turkish and English, but maybe not everything was presented in both. Still, very much worth a visit.
There were plastic chairs and tables at the terrace which means that the staff makes good time out of working hours. But can we see the great view of the terrace? Hell no! Unfortunately the door is locked to the visitors. And you can see the rooms from the corridor, but no entrance and close glance. So you can only visit the corridors of the museum. Welcome to Turkish style museum visiting. By the way, just two floors, and only corridors, they are going to take your 5 Turkish fancy Liras. Come on guys, you won the Independence War at this building!

This is one of the oldest trees in the world, which is well over 600 years old. The tree protected by the government and it is kept is a very good condition. Unfortunately, in the area where the city is, there are numerous tables for a restaurant nearby, the presence of which undermines the principles of keeping the tree safe. Overall, you would enjoy admiring the natural masterpiece.
The view of the tree is nice, we went in autmun so it wasn't really that full of leaves. There's a very steep walk upwards to it though which was very hard for us and by the time we got there we were out of breath🤣
İnkaya is home to a 600-year-old majestic plane tree, offering a cool and refreshing atmosphere under its vast shade. Surrounded by natural beauty and with a stunning view of Bursa, it's a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful scenery.
The old tree is magnificant, we enjoyed a cay tea under the great old plane. Many people, but prices are okayish.
The tree was impressive, though the service was poor maybe due to Eid holiday.
We waited for more than 30 mins to get the order, smoking was horribly allowed to the point I got allergic reaction.
The atmosphere and the views were amazing.
You can visit the place for free. The tree is 610 years old, huge and has restaurant hence surrounded by tables and chairs.
İnkaya Historical Plane Tree in Bursa is a magnificent natural wonder that offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. With its massive, centuries-old trunk and lush greenery, this ancient tree provides a cool and serene atmosphere for visitors.

Osman Gazi Türbesi
Mentioned on
Sights & Landmarks
Historical landmark
The Osman Gazi Türbesi is an Ottoman tomb located on a hilltop in Bursa, Turkey. The building has been reconstructed from a Byzantine structure and includes a terrace with cafes that offer stunning views of the surrounding area. While some visitors find the tomb to be overly decorated and not aligned with Islamic teachings, it remains an important historical site for many people. The tomb itself is elevated above floor level, which goes against traditional Islamic burial practices.
Visiting the Osman Gazi Tomb was a truly moving experience. As the founder of the Ottoman Empire, Osman Gazi holds a significant place in Turkish history. The tomb itself is beautifully maintained and reflects the grandeur of the Ottoman era. The serene atmosphere allows for quiet reflection on the life and legacy of this important figure. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in Turkish history and culture!

Here lies the founder of the Ottoman Empire. The shrine attracts many visitors and is ket in a very good condition. The guards at the entrance are dressed in the former of the days when Osman was the Sultan. They are a part of the attraction of the place. As it is a mausoleum, modest dressing is recommended.
The resting place of Osman Gazi, holy shrines of other important figures and close companions of the Ottoman regime. Located in Tophane park, which overlooks the panoramic view of Bursa city. Open to the visitors and free to enter, a calm, quiet and peaceful atmosphere near the tomb. A ceremonial reenactment used to perform there. Dressed as Ottoman soldiers and offer tribute to them in a crowd of spectators. Orhan Gazi's (Son of Osman Gazi) resting place is also next to this. Really a place to feel the old history and understand. A must visit spot in Bursa.
Here lies the first Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, I mean what can be said other than, May Allah grant Osman Gazi Jannat-ul-Firdous for all his contributions.
The experience of visiting the tomb was very good.
Make sure to stay till the end of the hour to see the guard change.
Rest in peace sir.
The tomb of the first Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Osman Gazi! When Bursa was conquered in 1326, Osman was still alive but too ill and old to take part in the campaign, so his son Orhan led the conquest. Next to Osman Gazi’s tomb, you’ll also find the tomb of his son, Orhan Gazi. What’s interesting is that the tomb of Osman Gazi is still guarded by human guards!
Visiting the tomb of Osman Gazi was an amazing and unforgettable experience. As the founder of the great Ottoman Empire (Osmanlı Sultanate), his final resting place carries immense historical and cultural importance. The tomb is beautifully preserved, and the peaceful atmosphere allows visitors to truly reflect on the legacy of this iconic leader.
What made my visit even more special was witnessing a traditional parade near the tomb. It added a vibrant and ceremonial touch to the experience, giving a glimpse into the rich Ottoman heritage and how it’s still honored today.
The location also offers stunning views over Bursa, and nearby sites like Orhan Gazi’s Tomb and the historic Tophane Clock Tower make it a perfect spot for history lovers.
A must-visit destination for anyone exploring the roots of the Ottoman Empire!
Very good experience,visted osman gazi grave and orhan gazi grave,children and wife,these are the founder of ottoman empire did the work that is remembered till today,they had hard ship but look how Allah tala rewarded them,how many people say fathi at there grave, we need more leaders like this.
It is very interesting visit for me .... the place clean, calm and reading Quran very slow ... Finally I recommend every body to go

Surrounded by forest, this scenic lake offers primitive camping & picnicking sites.
Very beautiful place! Lake in summer not big but so peaceful and greens around. There is space to have a picnic! Just hope people will take care of the place and not leave garbage in there!!!

A normal lake unless you want to go camping there
Although Yalova is a small province in the Marmara Region, it has many beauties. Big Bottomless Lake, which is only one of these beauties; attracts visitors with its nature and unique landscapes. Bottomless Lake is a paradise hidden among lush trees. Let's take a closer look at the breathtaking beauty of Yalova, Büyük Dipsiz Lake.
There is no access to the lake. We kept going around the lake, but we couldn't find an entrance.
It was a nice piece of nature, probably good for those looking to picnic, camp or maybe fish. Have a nice day up in the mountains by a nice lake.
Guzelllll
Very nice to camping
if you visit Turkey, this lake is one destination you should be in.

Do not hesitate. Great forest with an nice walking trak. Listen to the nature, water and birds sounds. Inhale clean air. Enjoy the waterfall and green senery. You deserve it.

A wonderful place to visit. Not for the elderly. Reaching the waterfalls requires around 15 minutes of walking but it's worth it.
Easy to get to, there is food to eat that they sell below the waterfalls with table by and in the water so your feet can be wet and keep you cool. The temperature is much lower here so great place to get away from the heat. Another great thing about this place is it has Zip lines to use for just 40£. Was so fun my child really enjoyed it.
I had my day in Yalova Kent Ormanı
Firstly when we arrived there they charged 10tl for car entrance.
After that when went to see the waterfall and was a nice passage .
You have to have an appropriate clothing specially shoes .
After having our time we reach the waterfall had few pics then we went back and had a Turkish Coffee at "KONAK RESTAURANT"
I have pictured the menu so that you'll have a clear and updated Idea About the menu and the prices.
Last but not least we headed to exist took our car and back to Yalova city.
The road was not that good so please bs careful while driving.
Wish you the best and a journey full of adventure and happiness.
A very beautiful place but requires caution while walking around the waterfall bed as the rocks are slippery. Otherwise be ready to jump into the water.
Wonderful place, beautiful nature, good for getting under the waterfall
Well landscaped, some botanics plants available barbecue places allocated outside but opposite to the garden with wide double sided wooden table - chairs each for six persons opposite to the barbecue
A great place to hike, relax and spend time in nature. The waterfall is stunning.
