About 5 kmA small village and bay on the coast road, an easy bicycle ride past olive groves and old stone walls.
Mudanya and the Armistice House
About 12 kmA seafront promenade, the ferry pier and the 1922 Armistice House museum; the sea route to Istanbul starts here.
Bursa historic bazaar
About 40 kmKoza Han, the Grand Mosque and the historic inns district; go at midday for İskender kebab and candied chestnuts.
Mount Uludağ
About 75 kmSkiing in winter, high-meadow walks in summer. The cable car leaves from central Bursa; a day trip is comfortable.
A schematic drawing, not to scale. On a real project, route cards drawn in the same style can sit here instead of an embedded map.
Which month, for what
The mansion is open all year; each season brings something different.
Spring and autumn
The most comfortable months for coastal walks and cycling. Olive harvest in November; guests who wish to can join a picking day.
Summer
Long evenings on the terrace, swimming in Kumyaka bay, fish in Trilye harbour. Sauna slots move to the cool of the evening.
Winter
The hearth is lit every evening; a day trip to ski on Uludağ. And for watching the rain from the bay window of a Sea Room.
