[2025 Bursa Attraction] Travel Guide for Cumalikizik (Updated Jul)

📍Address of attraction: Cumalikizik Town Cumalikizik is located east of Bursa, Turkey. It is an original Turkish town. 🚗 Transportation to attractions: [One][Metro] From downtown Bursa, you can take the subway to Cumalikizik Station and then transfer to the local minibus to the town. The minibus runs about every 15 minutes. [Two][Car] If you drive by yourself, please note that the road into the town is one-way and there will be reverse spikes on the ground, so be sure not to drive in the opposite direction. There are two relatively large parking areas in the town, which are clearly marked. Cars can be parked there and the parking fee is 50 lira. 👍️Must-see attractions: A walk around the town is a must, which takes about an hour. It is not very big, but the road conditions are uphill. Strolling along the winding cobblestone road in the town, with ancient houses on both sides, unique colorful walls, and a wide range of handmade ceramic artworks, it feels like being enveloped by a primitive living ecology, and the pace involuntarily slows down. Find a well-decorated resident's home to taste Turkish specialties, pour a cup of coffee in a street cafe, visit the small shops filled with pottery, and enjoy a relaxing time. The second half of the town is a circle and you can go up either side, but there are fewer shops up there, so you can just play the first half. The dividing point is Figure 11. 🎟️Ticket information: The town is currently free to visit, the minibus into the town is very cheap, parking is also very cheap, it is a place with pleasant prices in the whole of Türkiye. 💗Other tips: The small town of Jumalekzik is one of the typical representatives of rural architecture in the Ottoman Empire and has witnessed the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire. It was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2014. There are various handicraft shops in the village. If you like, you can buy some as souvenirs. The people in the town are simple and honest, and the prices are generally not high. You can bargain appropriately. If you don’t like something, it’s best not to ask the price casually. The main reason is that the locals are talkative and enthusiastic. It’s easy to feel embarrassed and buy it if you ask [Facepalm]

Turkey🇹🇷9th stop Bursa-Kumalijik On the way to Bursa, we first visited a small town about 20 minutes’ drive from Bursa, which also has a world cultural heritage site. This place, like Safranbolu, is listed as a World Heritage Site because it has preserved complete Ottoman architecture. However, the architecture here is more colorful and the houses look older. Since this place is close to the city, there are many tourists. The houses here are similar to those in Plovdiv, Bulgaria 🇧🇬 when we went there before. In this small town, we finally had the chance to taste the Turkish coffee that we had always missed. This type of coffee often appears in videos. It slowly boils in the sand, and more and more coffee is brewed (please refer to the video in the comment section 💕).
