Cumalıkızık
A well-preserved early Ottoman village with colourful timber houses and stone-paved lanes. It is part of a World Heritage property.
Cumalıkızık lies at the foot of Uludağ, about 10 km east of Bursa. It is a waqf (vakıf) village from the founding era of the Ottoman Empire. More than 200 old timber-and-stone houses are painted in yellow, purple, green and other colours. In 2014 it was inscribed as a World Heritage property together with the old city of Bursa. The village square has many village breakfast restaurants (köy kahvaltısı), where you can try homemade jam, pancakes and raspberry juice. You can wander the village for one to two hours, and there is also a small folk museum. Take bus 22 or a taxi to get there.
