After getting picked up from your hotel in the early morning, you'll drive from Istanbul to Eskihisar port. Here, hop on the ferry to Topcular and enjoy views of the country and seaside. After the 45-minute ferry ride, drive to Bursa, the former Ottoman capital.

From there, Bursa is your oyster. Choose to go to the beautiful parks and gardens located across the city and enjoy nature. Or, drive to the mausoleums of early Ottoman sultans and the numerous edifices built throughout the Ottoman period. See the city's main landmarks and listen to expert commentary from your guide.

The city is synonymous with the mountain Uludag which towers behind the city core and which is also a famous ski resort. Travel here and sit on a cable car to get great views of the vast forests and thermal baths that surround the region.

You can let your driver know if you have any particular sites within Bursa that you would like to see, including:

• Visit Cumalıkızık and eat a village breakfast
• Uludag mountain for a ride on a cable car
• Bursa city center
• Ulu Camii (Grand Mosque)
• Yesil Camii (Green Mosque)
• Yesil Turbe (Green Mausoleum)
