New Year and Winter Holiday Destinations in Bursa and Surroundings

If you've come to Bursa, here are the places you must see and your dining list:

  1. Mount Uludağ, magnificent with its lush green forests in summer and snowy white cover in winter.
  2. Mudanya, just half an hour away from the city center. Take a walk along the seaside, and if the weather is nice, indulge in some fresh fish bread after a dip in the sea.
  3. Beyond Mudanya lies Tirilye, the olive grove that jumps out of the pages of history. At the Çamlı Kahve café atop the hill, you must have a Turkish coffee that will linger in your memory for forty years.
  4. And what about Cumalıkızık, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site? Its narrow streets, gently flowing stream, warm people, and beautiful architecture make Cumalıkızık legendary.
  5. While wandering through the historic bazaars, don't forget to stop by Kozahan after Kapalı Çarşı for a well-deserved coffee break.
  6. Let's not forget about İnegöl, the largest district of the city. You can visit the healing Oylat Hot Springs there. Oylat Cave is also a different kind of natural beauty. This way, you'll also get to taste the famous İnegöl köfte (meatballs) on-site.

5. 🏠 Eskişehir:
Leaving behind the Porsuk River, you may feel like you've been living in Adalar and Doktorlar for years while taking a city tour.

 🍂Where to Eat? Sempre Ristorante Italiano: Located in the city center, this restaurant offers a sophisticated and quality dining experience with a surprising garden. Their filet with Cafe de Paris sauce and pizzas were quite delicious. 

✏️You must try the traditional Eskişehir dish, çi börek. Our recommendations include Kırım Çi Börek Salonu (their poppy seed pastry is a breakfast essential), Eskişehir Çi Börek, Can Çi Börek (near Abdülselam), Hasan Polatkan Avenue's Has Kırım Çi börekçisi, or @carsifirineskisehir. Karakedi's boza is a must-try as well.

 ✏️Balaban kebab is also a must-try. For the evening, I recommend Meze; you'll love their fish appetizers. Additionally, Eskişehir's met halva is very famous. You can also buy halva from a renowned confectioner.

Accommodation Recommendation in Eskisehir:   Stay at @omm.inn and @sennacityhotel in Eskişehir, where you'll gather memories as beautiful as a picture book, uniquely tailored for you! Details are available on the blog.
