Quoting Chantal: Hey Lady_A!
I've been to Bursa 2 times now, both times by boat. It's an excellent trip, not very difficult to get there  .
From Istanbul to Bursa it will take about 3 hours by boat if you go from Yenikapi (istanbul) to Yalova (bursa). From there it's still about 1 hour by bus/car. *Cars are allowed on the boat*
You can also go to the new boat'station', which is also in Bursa. I don't quite remember the name of the place, but they will know in Yenikapi . From Istanbul to that place it will take 1 hour by boat, and also an hour by bus again to the center of bursa.
Price information: The 3-hour trip is a bit cheaper, don't exactly remember, but the other one costs 20ytl for a single if I remember correctly.
About Bursa and the Uludag itself: It's absolutely beautiful!!! Bursa is a great city, comparable to Istanbul. You definitely have to go to the place from where you can see the whole of Bursa, and you should also take the chairlift which takes you up to the Uludag itself .
If you want to know more about how to get there and all send me a pm.. it's late here and my mind has stopped working  .
Good luck and have a good time there! |
This is not to deny the moment's charm, but reason should guide your behavior.
