Bursa & Uludağ
Why here
Bursa gives a group two programmes in one place. In the city there are congress hotels with thermal pools in Çekirge, the Grand Mosque, the silk market at Koza Han and the Ottoman village of Cumalıkızık. Above the city, Uludağ has the largest ski area in the Marmara region and a hotel zone at around 1,800 metres.
The ski season usually runs from December to March, which makes Uludağ a natural choice for January sales kickoffs. The cable car from the city to Sarıalan takes about 25 minutes, and the hotels run their own shuttles from there.
Yenişehir airport has limited scheduled flights, so most groups fly into Istanbul and travel by road over the Osmangazi Bridge, about two and a half hours, or take the sea bus from Yenikapı to Mudanya in about two hours.
Areas we work in
The Uludağ hotel zone for ski hotels with slope access; Çekirge for thermal hotels and congress venues; the historic centre around Ulu Cami and the hans for Ottoman mansions; Cumalıkızık for village dinners; Mudanya for the waterfront.
