About Southern Marmara Circuit

Get ready for an unforgettable Southern Marmara tour, where history and fascinating nature blend in perfect harmony. This three-day trip offers an itinerary full of surprises, stretching from Bursa to the mythological lands of Çanakkale. In your first step, you take a nostalgic walk in the narrow streets of the colorful Cumalıkızık village, which hosts beautiful examples of Ottoman architecture. Afterwards, you gain knowledge about the past by carefully examining artifacts in the Bursa Arkeoloji Müzesi, mirroring the region's ancient period. On the same day, you turn towards nature, taking a cool break in the unique Uludağ national park, covered with massive pine forests. You spend pleasant time in the Sadağı Kanyonu, which inspires excitement with its steep rocks.

The second day allows for a deeper integration with nature, accompanied by the clean air of Marmara. You make a fresh start by taking a calm walk through the Değirmen Boğazı Tabiat Parkı, which attracts attention with its rich vegetation. Continuing your route, you have the opportunity to examine the rare forest texture in the Kazdağı Göknarı conservation area, holding a special place in the scientific world. You spend the majority of the day thoroughly enjoying every shade of green in the massive Kazdağı national park, known in mythological legends as "Ida" and famous for being an oxygen reservoir.

On the final day of your adventure, you reach the lands of Çanakkale, the subject of legendary epics. Entering the borders of the Troya TMP, which recalls heroic stories from thousands of years ago, you view the striking landscapes of the ancient world. Then, you admire the archaeological finds that give life to the Trojan legend in the corridors of the award-winning Troya Müzesi. You crown the finale of your trip by getting lost in the deep traces of history among the ruins of the Troya Örenyeri, where you can see the layers of nine different civilizations built on top of each other.
