Cumalıkızık – Bursa Destination Bursa about 13 km from Bursa

How to get there

Leave Bursa by local transport or car and complete the approach on foot within the village core. Check the return journey before you start the walk, especially outside peak periods.

How many days

Half a day is enough to see Cumalıkızık’s core; use Bursa as a base for the rest of the destination.

When to go

April to June and September to October generally allow more comfortable walks. When it rains, the stone paving requires slower steps.

The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Do you need a car?

A car is not necessary inside the village. It helps for travel from Bursa, but the core should be explored on foot.
