During the weekend, we are organizing an excursion to Bursa. As the first capital of the Ottoman Empire, Bursa has much to offer in historical buildings as well as shopping and dining. Bursa is also one of the richest cities in Turkey in terms of number of thermal springs. We will stay at Oylat. Oylat Thermal Spring is Turkey's number one spa center and it is a paradise on a slope between two valleys surrounded by forests on the foot of a forest hill 27 kilometres away from Inegöl town.
This foothill is part of Uludag (Mount Olympus). Its history can be traced back to the Roman epoch. The spring water is 40°C hot which allows bathing without pre-cooling. Spring water runs to the pool from the mouth of three lion heads. |
