The Bursa guidebook strongly suggested that we make a trip to the village of Cumalikizik, where there is an unspoilt collection of old wooden Ottoman houses. A bus trip on line 22 took us through the endless tatty suburbs of Bursa before we made a right turn back up the mountain to arrive at this enchanting place. Lots of the lovely old houses which we love so much and many painted blue, but nothing really to compare with Safranbolu up in the north.
