How to Travel from Istanbul to Bursa and Uludağ

Beyond Istanbul: The Appeal of Bursa

Located just across the Marmara Sea, Bursa was the first major capital of the Ottoman Empire. Today, it is famous for its incredible Iskender Kebab, ancient silk markets, and, most importantly, the towering Uludağ Mountain, Turkey's premier ski resort.

The Public Transport Hassle

Getting to Bursa from Istanbul via public transit is notoriously exhausting. You must take a taxi or metro to the Yenikapı ferry terminal, ride the IDO fast ferry across the sea to Mudanya, take a crowded local bus from Mudanya into the center of Bursa, and then finally take a taxi or the cable car up to the Uludağ ski resorts.

If you are traveling with heavy winter coats, skis, or a family, this multi-step journey is a logistical nightmare.

The Seamless VIP Intercity Transfer

The smartest travelers bypass the ferry terminals and bus stations entirely by booking a private VIP intercity transfer.

• Door-to-Door Service: Our Mercedes Vito will pick you up directly from your hotel in Istanbul (or straight from Istanbul Airport) and drive you directly to the door of your ski lodge in Uludağ.
• The Osmangazi Bridge: We use the spectacular new Osmangazi suspension bridge, drastically cutting down the driving time across the gulf without waiting for ferry schedules.
• Luggage Capacity: Going skiing? Our vans easily accommodate oversized luggage, snowboards, and heavy winter gear without cramping the passenger cabin.
