Lunch in Bursa, free time and overnight in thermal hotel or hotel category of your choice.
Day 2: Bursa. Today we will visit the Ulu (Great) Mosque, the Silk Market, Green Mosque, Tombs of Osman and Orhan and the Muradiye Complex. We may have lunch in the famous "Iskender Kebab" restaurant. Time permitting we may also be able to visit the museum and see a performance of the shadow puppets Hacivat and Karagoz. Overnight in thermal hotel or hotel category of your choice.
Day 3: Bursa - Iznic - Istanbul. Today we will visit Iznik, which is unique in that most of the town is still inside the ancient Roman Walls. This pleasant town is also located on a lake. Iznik was famous for the site of the 7th Ecumenical council. We will visit the Church of St. Sophia, the city gates, walls, Ottoman monuments and the Iznik Museum.
It is housed in the Nilufer Hatun soup kitchen, a fine Ottoman building from the 14th century, where there are fine examples of the Iznik tiles from the 15th to the 17th century and other archaeological treasures. Iznik is famous for its ceramics and the art of tile making has been revived. It is possible to see tiles and other ceramics produced by the old method. Return to Istanbul.
