Dear Travellers , Hello from Bursa , the city that presents numerous historical masterpieces and gorgeous natural beauties. My name is Rüstem , I am a licensed tour guide and I have been in tourism area for about 25 years. On one hand , I like travelling , exploring new places and cultures and meeting local people. On the other hand , as a guide , I enjoy showing fantastic architectural structures and fabulous landscapes , exhibit many components of culture in my city or around to the guests visiting my country. When I was at high school far from my hometown , as the city is very close the Greek and Bulgarian border , I used to have lots of opportunities to meet tourists and help them for shopping and then be offered to show them around. Since then tourism and guiding has always been my ambition. At university , first I studied English language and some years later graduated from Tourist Guiding Department and finally achieved my goal. Bursa , which is also known " Green Bursa " because of its gardens and parks , is one of the most important tourist destinations in Turkey. It has been homeland for several civilazitions such as Bithynia , Lydia , Persian , Greek , Roman , Byzantium , Selcuks and Ottoman. Furthermore , Bursa is the first major capital of Ottoman Empire. So it is very rich in monuments like mosques , churches , grand bazaars , khans , tombs and baths. Besides , it has a lot of natural beauties such as Month Uludağ ( Olympus ) , İznik Lake , Gölyazı Lake ( Apolyont ) and plenty of beaches. I have been living in Bursa for a long time and I love the city so much. It will always be a great pleasure for me to guide you . The contents of the itinerary range from tourist attractions in city centre like Osman and Orhan Gazi Tombs , Grand Mosque , Grand Bazaar , Kozahan , Irgandı Bridge , Green Mosque and Green Tomb , Atatürk Pavilion to Hagia Sophia , city walls , tile shops in İznik ( Nikea ) , Trilye village , Month Uludağ and Gölyazı Lake.
