After breakfast, we take our guests from the hotel for the Yalova City Tour. We are starting our tour in a city full of traces, a city that Gazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk loved. First, we visit the Yuruyen Kosk, which can be translated as "walking pavilion." It was built in the 19th century and takes its name from the fact that when Ataturk did not want to cut down a tree that was damaging the pavilion, he relocated the pavilion. It is most likely the only one of its kind. The Sudusen waterfall with views of Gokce Dam is the second destination that we will visit. You can take amazing pictures here. Our next stop is the Thermal Region, which has been talked about for centuries since the Romans discovered its healing waters. The Erikli Cifte Waterfalls, Erikli Plateau, and Bottomless Lakes are the next stops. 

After the tour, drive to Bursa. Upon arrival, check in to our hotel and enjoy the thermal bath and swimming pool. Overnight in Bursa.
