Another must-see archeological site. İt is about a 3hrs drive from Izmir. What impressed me the most was the 170mt pool, it is unrestored now but I hope it will be one day. One remark: the museum building is closed to visitors.

One of the most fascinating places I have ever been to. Absolutely stunning peace's with very well preserved parts. I loved the masks wall and also the pool at the main square. Don't miss the Theatre. Less expensive (€12) and much less crowded than Ephesus

Enchanting archeological site. Some buildings are in incredible good state and the visit is very enjoyable as there aren’t crowds of tourists.

The archeological site is fantastic, interesting and beautiful. You can easily spend there 2 hours. Take some water and a hat, as it can be very hot on the sun. However, the Museum is currently closed...and this was very dissapointing.

It is one of the best places I have ever been. 100% worth it. We were alone

Absolutely beautiful, well-preserved and off the beaten path. Low crowds mean you can walk on and around the ruins. Come early and explore in near silence and solitude.

We had limited time and we were not sure if we should include this in our itinerary, but we did and we were delighted. Way less crowded than Ephesus, and from my point of view experientially deeper and easier to immerse into the history of the place without the tour busses. Though smaller than Ephesus, the 170 m long swimming pool must have been a treat, and Aphrodisias had plenty of water the gardens were reportedly magnificent. Definitely a City I may have wanted to live in back in the day…

great place to visit. free entrance and lot to see. no crowds. you can reach this place only with a car.

Definitely off the beaten path but pretty impressive. They are continually excavating and unearthing the area. They have already posted signs of information. If you’re up for a short high, the view at the top is really nice. Right now it is free to visit and it closes at 5:00. There was 1 other person visiting when we arrived and there were a couple diggers in the area.

Make sure not to miss this hidden gem if you're in the vicinity. Located approximately 40 km north of Denizli, to the east of Buldan and Yenicekent Towns, it nestles at the base of a hill nestled between the Buyuk Menderes River and Yenicekent Town. The stunning natural landscape, especially the mountain views, makes it a destination worth exploring! Continuous excavation efforts are underway, revealing more of its historical treasures. Informative signs have been strategically placed to guide visitors through the site. For those seeking a brief adventure, the panoramic view from the hilltop is simply breathtaking. Admission is currently free, with closing time set at 5:00 PM. During our visit, there were no other tourists around, just a few dedicated excavators working nearby.

Beautiful, peaceful ancient site that you should come to. Entry is free, and there's no other tourists when I'm here. A lot of ancient artifacts and site that you can explore and learn about.

Amazing place! you get very humble here, because,🤩 It's very beautiful, and special, to Walk in the remains of an ancient city of the old roman empire! You can almost imagine ,what is must look like back then!

Hidden gem in between villages. Tripolis provides guests with a lot to look at. Thanks to the, still ongoing, reconstructions. Walk through the old streets, have a look into the remote church and even make a little break at the elevation with an astonishing panorama-view. If you're near Denizli/Aydın then plan a day-vacation! Besides, entree is free and you'll even be escorted by a companion. The cute dog will follow you and is more than happy to get some pets on his head.

Wow. What a find this was. Off the beaten track for sure, but we'll worth a 30 min stop on your route. Information boards in English and Turkish. Imagine it would be spectacular at night too. Free parking. No shade. A little uneven under foot (push chairs would struggle).

What a great place to see the history! An amazing mansion specificly designed to wake up while looking at the Bozdaglar. Each room designed differently. Recommend to visit this place.

It is a very nice old mansion for 200+ years, now it is a museum. The rooms where all the walls are beautifully adorned with ornaments are spectacular. However, there are no furnished room .

Birgi is an enchanting village in Turkiye that feels untouched by time. Known for its beautifully preserved Ottoman architecture, rich historical significance, and peaceful “slow town” vibe, Birgi offers an immersive experience into Turkish heritage and rural life. Designated as a Cittaslow, or "slow town," Birgi takes pride in preserving its traditional lifestyle and natural environment, creating a refreshing escape for travelers seeking history, culture, and tranquility. Birgi’s roots trace back to ancient times, when it was home to Phrygian, Lydian, and Roman civilizations before flourishing under the Aydinids and later the Ottomans. As a result, Birgi is a living tapestry of history, blending diverse cultures and architectural styles in a way that feels both rich and harmonious. This legacy makes Birgi a unique and invaluable part of Turkey’s cultural landscape, as well as a destination of international importance for those interested in historical preservation. One of Birgi's most striking features is its well-preserved Ottoman architecture. Walking through the village's cobblestone streets, you’ll find elegant wooden houses with intricate woodwork and traditional stone facades, many of which date back centuries. The Çakırağa Mansion, one of Birgi’s most iconic buildings, is a masterpiece of Ottoman craftsmanship. Built in the 18th century, this grand mansion features beautifully painted interiors and detailed wood carvings that reflect the sophistication and artistic talent of its time. It’s a rare example of the Ottoman elite’s lifestyle and remains one of Turkey’s most treasured heritage sites. The Great Mosque of Birgi, or Ulu Camii, is another must-visit landmark. Built in the early 14th century by Mehmet Bey, the mosque is one of the oldest in Anatolia and a stunning example of Seljuk architecture. Its wooden minbar, decorated with delicate carvings, and the unique stone design reflect the aesthetic sensibilities of the Aydinid period. This mosque is a peaceful place to reflect on the region’s spiritual history and admire the craftsmanship that has withstood the centuries. Birgi’s commitment to preserving its heritage extends beyond its architecture to its way of life. As a Cittaslow, Birgi prioritizes sustainable living and traditional culture, inviting visitors to slow down and savor the small moments. The village’s narrow streets are lined with family-run shops, artisan markets, and cozy cafes where you can enjoy locally sourced food and handmade crafts. The pace of life here is slow, allowing you to truly appreciate the surroundings and connect with the local people, who are warm, welcoming, and proud of their heritage. The local cuisine is another highlight of a visit to Birgi. Many of the dishes here are prepared with ingredients grown in the surrounding farmlands and flavored with herbs from the Bozdağ Mountains. You can savor traditional Aegean dishes, from fresh olive oils to savory gözleme (stuffed flatbreads) and handcrafted jams. Dining in Birgi is not just a meal; it’s a cultural experience that showcases the village’s agricultural roots and commitment to sustainable practices. Birgi’s natural beauty adds to its charm, with lush landscapes, olive groves, and fresh mountain air. The village is surrounded by trails that lead into the Bozdağ Mountains, offering opportunities for hiking and exploring the pristine environment. Each season brings its own beauty to Birgi, from the vibrant blooms of spring to the golden hues of autumn. The landscape itself feels like part of the village’s identity, a source of pride and livelihood for the people who call it home. For anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply finding a peaceful retreat, Birgi is a remarkable destination. Its status as a slow town and dedication to preserving its heritage make it a model for sustainable tourism. By visiting Birgi, you’re not just exploring a village—you’re experiencing a way of life rooted in respect for tradition, nature, and community.

A great gem in the middle of an antique Ottoman outpost village. A relatively well-maintained house with beautiful miniatures and frescoes on its walls, nestled in a green courtyard. A fantastically visual and cuktural treat.

Currently closed due to restoration. You can still see some part of it from the road right above.

One of the unique piece of history and architecture. Birgi is also great place to visit aged with ottoman begliks period and first naval Turkish state in all Turkish history.

Blaundus is a city founded during the Hellenistic period. Located on the top of a hill, it is a pleasant place with a great view and a breeze. However, please be careful as the road is not paved for the last 2km. It is possible to learn more about Blaundus at the Usak Museum Exhibit.

They were trying to improve public access and entrance during our visit. Not too much to see but worthwhile if passing by and not time limited.

Amazing place I cannot explain my feelings when. I was there, There is magic from those Old stones just sit and close your eyes and try to match your soul with Old souls from there, try to image how the life was there in the Old time, how many people were there, and now you are part of that, one of them, I recommended and I will go back again for sure.

Not so many things to see compared to other places in this area but still views are impressive and worth a short stop!

So this is a little out of the way. But, if you are near by and have a spare hour, then take the drive to this 'live' archaeological site. The iconic gate and three monuments are the only things really standing, but information boards (English and Turkish) explain detail about this military city.

Spectacular location over a gorge, but there is not much left from the antique city. Its remoteness and its wild feel, makes a visit worthwile

Under excavation.... Not much to see but nice sceneric beauty.

There's no glutenfree food options for celiac people in the service areas.

Excellent even for one day trip.

It was closed.

The resort itself was closed

(Translated by Google) Hello, There is no permission to go to the entrance of the ski resort. The Gendarmerie does not allow it. You can leave the vehicle on the side of the road and continue on foot. If you want to make sausage, bread and tea with a view of Bozdağ, there were many people lighting a barbecue. We went up the hills from the roadside and enjoyed the snow. (Original) Merhabalar, Kayak merkezinin girişine gitmeye kadar izin yok Jandarma izin vermiyor.yol kenarında aracı bırakıp yürüyerek devam edebiliyorsunuz.Yol kenarında Bozdağ manzaralı sucuk ekmek çay yapmak isterseniz mangal yakanlar çok vardı.Yol kenarından yukarı tepelere çıkıp kar keyfimizi yaptık.

(Translated by Google) There wasn't much snow when I went. So we could only sled. It was very crowded. Also, the products in the cafe at the facility were really bad. Salep wasn't salep, coffee wasn't coffee (Original) Gittiğimde pek kar yoktu. Bu yüzden sadece kızakla kaymamaız mümkün oldu. Çok kalabalıktı. Ayrıca tesisteki cafedeki ürünler gerçekten çok kötüydü. Salep salep değildi kahve kahve değildi

Nice place in very beautiful scenery. We visited this place in May for 5 days and it was cool, but not too cold, unless it rained. The thermal bath is very unique and classic, with tall rooms and white marble stone walls. 5/5 value for money. Good and practical place for the price. A bit old-fashioned. Rooms were good and clean enough. Friendly staff. Pools are separated for men and women but you can rent a family pool. Rooms have their own bath tubs with thermal water. A lot of parking place. Rooms are warm and have air-condition.

It's a beautiful place with rich nature, clean and well kept accommodation. It's a humble place that well worth the 180 tl price tag. Although it's an old place but amazingly well kept and clean. Having said that, it's time to renovate the furniture. I recommend this place over any hotel as it offers fantastic natural setting.

The place is great but the hotel I don't know. Because we stayed another place.

Gorgeous place and great sale at the restaurant cafe!

Nice place to visit with wonderful photo oppurtunities.

No no very badly run dirty place

(Translated by Google) DETAILED DESCRIPTION I looked at the comments before coming, but I came anyway. The facility is very nice, we stayed in B type rooms, in large nature, very clean inside, nice sheets, very clean, I paid special attention to it, the thermal bathtub is in the bathroom, the bathtub was old, I guess they don't care much because it belongs to the municipality, but we washed it and used it. The water was very nice and hot, in fact, there is a refrigerator, TV, and stove in the rooms. You need to bring things like plates, glasses, etc. when you come, if you don't want to, there is a restaurant that serves grills within the facility, there is also a restaurant for breakfast, mixed breakfast for two people is 500. Before you reach the facility, there is an alcoholic restaurant 500 meters behind. The price is very reasonable. If you come in the summer, there is a large outdoor playground and a children's playground. Apart from that, there is a small grocery store within the facility selling junk food, shampoo, bread, cigarettes, etc. There is a common thermal pool in the area for men and women. Separately, there is a children's playground within the facility. We were satisfied. We paid 3000 TL per night for a room for 3 people. The price just seemed high to us. Other than that, it was very nice.

The Forgotten Glory of the Lydian Empire / Sardis, once the glittering capital of the Lydian Empire, offers a remarkably well-preserved glimpse into a once-thriving ancient civilization. The Lydian Empire flourished in western Anatolia from the 7th to 6th century BCE and is credited with inventing the world’s first known coinage, made of electrum. Under the legendary King Croesus, Sardis became synonymous with immense wealth and influence. One of the most impressive structures in Sardis today is the Roman-era gymnasium, with its reconstructed two-story marble façade, soaring arches, and monumental design that showcased Roman ideals of strength and education. Just beside it lies the grand ancient synagogue—one of the largest known from antiquity—testifying to the vibrant Jewish community that lived in Sardis. The synagogue’s well-preserved mosaic floors, adorned with geometric patterns, and the standing columns create a vivid picture of religious life in the late Roman period. When we arrived, we were surprised to find so few visitors despite the vastness of the site. It felt peaceful and uncrowded, allowing us to reflect more deeply. Seeing the scale of Sardis made us realize how vast and powerful the empire must have been. We truly hope more people take the time to visit this impressive and meaningful place. #SardisAncientCity #LydianEmpire #RomanGymnasium #AncientSynagogue #Mosaics #Croesus #SevenChurches

This was such a lovely place to visit. Lots of biblical and ancient history. It’s not as big as some other sites so you wouldn’t need as much time. I enjoyed visiting.

The City of Sardis. The capital of the Lydian empire of 200,000 inhabitants. Had the largest synagogue in Asia Minor and known for its elaborate Bath system and Gymnasium. A place you must see in turkey. This place in one of the seven churches mentioned in the bibile. The letter to the church in Sardis, warns its believers to Wake-up and take their walk with The Lord seriously.

Visited the ruins while on group tour with members of my church. We were amazed with the excavated ruins dating back to the Byzantine and Lydian eras. The gymnasium building and synagogue mosaics were definite highlights.

Sardis is really captivating with the walls renovated by Jewish people but still they preserved it so well

It's worth the trip. The synagogue is the largest antiquity of its kind

I am surprised more people don't talk about this ancient city. So worth taking a detour to visit.

The mountain is very huge and it has a lot of places to visit and camp 🏕 But the way there is very bad and needs some care while driving.

Tried to go hiking but let my car go hiking instead of me. Can reach the top of the mountain by driving. Strange and fresh experience for me.

What a georgeus mountain! It's around 1,500 metres (5,000 Feet). It has two sides. One is for Manisa and the other side sees Izmir Kemalpasha.

Here has a Good view with quite number of cafés. In cafés you can eat ice cream or order some sunflower 🌻 seeds with Turkish tea🍵, here has a cozy atmosphere

veriy good

40 HARMAN

there is no river near it with an L as the 5th letter in the 8 letter name...

Great place!

I strongly recommend it it is on your way yo izmir. Also you have to see the 🏰 castle stand since Lydians

You dont have to go to the cappadocia. This is Kuladocia

Not even close to Cappadocia

Super

(Translated by Google) We entered the area and toured the fairy chimneys, which we had only seen on the road before, because we wanted to see them more closely and with more time. This wonderful view, which is one of the wonders of nature, presented to us by the erosion of thousands of years of volcanic texture, is truly worth seeing. (Original) Daha önce sadece yoldan geçerken gördüğümüz peribacalarını bu sefer daha yakından ve zaman ayırarak görmek istediğimiz için alana girip gezdik. Doğanın harikalarından binlerce yıllık volkanik dokunun aşınmasının bize sunduğu bu harika manzara gerçekten görülmeye değer.

(Translated by Google) It is so beautiful in nature that I loved it. It is a suitable place to visit and have a lunch break. We saw it by chance while passing by and we loved it. (Original) Doğanın içinde o kadar güzel ki bayıldım ziyaret edilip yemek molası için uygun bir yer. Yoldan geçerken şans eseri görüp durduk cok sevdik

The place is not very big. A small town mall. The kids play area is filled with old and not too exciting Toys. My kids didn't like it. But the mall is good for some visits.

A large mall with many many stores, offering near anything you look for at decent prices. Clean and shiny place, easy to navigate as the stores and restaurants are categorised into different floors. The cinema is large with many salons to view the latest movies. The restaurants allow for a wide variety of selections for whatever type of food you crave. The clothes stores showcase the latest and most popular types of clothing for you to choose and buy. The tech stores and body-care stores are also constantly up to date with the latest products they get their hands on, and will often do discounts for you, especially during holidays like Eid. Great place to go with family and friends.

Nice shopping mall with multiple shopping options with a food court on the top floor.

The place to shop in Manisa. They have all your typical brands that you’d find anywhere else, but the defining feature is the view the food court has off the mountainside. Absolutely stunning

Good SC even if people don't speak English they try to help you, unfortunately no English menu in cafes or restaurants.

Is not like shopping malls in izmir. But is good enough. Some choices to eat. Maybe not so "friendly" with tourists.

The only shopping center of Manisa. Manisa is a small and cozy city and you can visit this place to have some of the services that Manisa doesn't offer. You can chill in cafes, visit many stores or watch a movie in the cinema.

They have the rooster relief. Come and see the rooster relief! Closes at 19:00 during summer season.

It is full of history, philosophy and art. Fully recommended ✨🫶

Explanations (in the English version) were rather bad, verging on the not understandable, with major mistakes (no Athens did not win the Peloponesian war !). The collection itself is also rather underwhelming, in part due to some of the best pieces being in Istanbul's archeological museum. I must however congratulate the personnel working there for their honesty, returning to me some money that had fallen from my pocket without me noticing it.

Dearest readers: This is a small museum, but with many historical riches. I can understand more about the culture and the history. I recommend you to visit here. The enter not is expensive and you can admire all the awesome details of this great place.

Good place to start visiting bergama historical city. There is a lot of artefacts from the different archeological sites around the city. There is also an ethnic museum in the same place ( no need for extra ticket) it's very nice and funny. Very nice museum I really recommend it. Ticket price In August 2021 was around 10 Tl.

Small typical museum but worth to see. Open from 08:30 to 19:00 in summer time entrance fee is 6 tl for 2019. Museumpass or museumcards are valid.

Great but small museum

We visited on 5 May 2025. Unfortunately the full site is closed for restoration. There are no signs about it being closed, and when it may re-open. Hence the two stars. I was able to take photos of the outside of the buildings through gaps in the fencing.

Came here in September with a tour group. This was just a photo stop, entrance not included. But the fee is only a small amount so worth paying to enter and look up close. But you can also walk along the fence outside to have a great view of the ancient temple.

Site is simply closed for indefinite "construction" with no information about reopening & despite still being listed as an active and available "museum" covered by the Aegean Museum pass.

Badly preserved historical place (this is very unfortunate). You can visit if it happens to be on your way say driving from izmir to Istanbul but do not go out of your way to visit. Visit time less than 1 hour.

Amazing architecture, must see if you're visiting the area, couldn't believe how advanced the Roman's were.

currently not open due to renovation

Between bergama acropolis and Asclepieion there is red basilica. Entrance 20 TL, think you have to pay money any archaeological places in turkey. Artemis temple it was free only one pillar left. Red basilica just good to see.

They charge L500 each per return trip or L350 for a one way 3 minute ride. And that’s before paying to enter the Akropolis site. So we walked up (45 min) and down again through the additional places of interest for L0. You’re better to drive, walk or get a taxi.

There is a cable car which takes you to the Acropolis but upstairs you need to pay extra to see the museum. I honestly didnt go up. I stayed down and bonded with a local lady named Elif who was selling the most delicious wild honey so I bought two jars and we just talked.

If you have a car you're better off driving up, same views and you don't have to pay to park at the gondola and then also pay for the gondola itself. There isn't even a parking lot, what are you charging for?

Best way to go up. Buy the Aegean Museum Card is cheaper to visit all the sites Permagon, Red Basilica, Asklepion, Permagon Museum and mach more.

Cozy and enjoyable way to reach the Acropolis. However 20 TL is expensive I think.

Now one way price is even 500 TL.

I suffer from vertigo but it was the main way to visit the site. Professional service though

Unknown site worth restoring, but time will tell.

Sitting at the highest point of a bit steep hill looking down grand toward town below to create greater performing effect

Great place, but unfortunately abandoned.

Be cautious, the site is not secured and somewhat dangerous (especially for kids ) so be ready for it. (but it is certainly a very impressive site ! )

(Translated by Google) You can also go up by private vehicle, there is also a cable car for those on foot, entrance is possible with a museum card, buildings worth seeing, I liked it very much, the view was also very beautiful. (Original) Özel araç ile de çıkabilirsiniz, yaya olanlar için teleferik de mevcut, müzekart ile giriş yapılabiliyor, görülmeye değer yapılar, çok beğendim, manzarası da çok güzeldi

Almost the only natural park in Balıkesir. It's close to city centre and lots of places to sit under trees and enjoy the time. Cafeterias are fine and cheap. Kind waitresses and waiters, nice place to escape city's crowded environment

Too crowded.. finding very difficult for car parking.. but great place for kids and lots of mangal smoke..

Very good park, but little dirty.

Best forest environment for family picnic in balikesir city. turkiye

Little bit dirty but still one of the best place for mountain cycling and bbq

Was smaller than I thought. You can spend some hours resting. But that's all

Hmm

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

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.

An amazing place! it having a cafe under the tree 🌳, it was unexpected. It was 600 yr old tree 🌳.It gives an amazing perspective on the earth’s timeline.there is somany restaurants there and shops to purchase for tourists..

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 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. Surrounded by a pleasant park, it's a perfect spot for a relaxing walk or a picnic with family and friends. The historical significance and beauty of the tree make it a must-visit for nature lovers and history enthusiasts. A true gem of Bursa! Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.
