Daily
tours to the Villages around Bursa...and others...
|
We
may take you visit different villages around Bursa. The villages
that are located on the mountain, on the Bursa plain, around the
lake of Uluabat-Apollonia or İznik lake or any others that you
may choose...! |
| For
example a full
day tour programme, including the Uludağ’s best mountain villages
is one of the highlight tours.
We depart from Bursa early in the morning. The tour begins on the
outskirts of Bursa and we take the road to Keles to the south. The
road winds around Uludağ and climbes its southern slopes and you
witness the great view of the rocky and snow-covered southern cliffs
of the mountain. On the way, we see many villages and beautiful
farmlands and the river floating by the road. This is the part of
Uludağ which you cannot see from the city. After passing Keles town
we drive further to the Sorgun village with a great view of the rocky
mountains. On the way first we stop in the Sorgun village for a couple
of hours then head up to Kocakovacık village... |
| If you
are interested in Turcoman Nomads and their life-style you should join
this tour because these are the right villages in which to observe the
signs of nomads who migrated from middle Asia to Anatolia hundreds of
years ago.The land around these villages is planted with strawberries
and other fruits, beans, potatoes, wheat and barley.Flocks graze on
the rich mountain grasses while the women of the villages weave
colourful cloths on their looms. The Villagers weave wool belts and
girdles and still make their own costumes. While strolling around the
stone streets of the villages you can get the smell of freshly-baked
bread nearby. |
|
|
| Don’t be surprised if
you are invited to take a piece of the newly cooked bread. You will
never forget the fantastic experience of enjoying the fresh food in
these villages. Another attraction of these villages is the
architecture that is particular to mountain villages and the
atmosphere it creates by this way. Spend a day in those mountain
villages and get in to their worlds...A completely different world and
an unforgettable experience away from city noise and hustle up on the
mountains is waiting for you. Karagöz is the only way you can meet
those friendly people and observe the traditional life of the mountain
Turkomans in Bursa. |
