Koza Han (Historic Silk Market)

Set among Bursa’s historic bazaars, Koza Han was commissioned by Sultan Bayezid II in 1491 to generate income for his mosque and madrasa in Istanbul. Located between the Grand Mosque and Orhan Gazi Mosque, it makes an easy stop while exploring the old city on foot. Its two storeys of arcaded galleries surround a courtyard, where a small domed prayer room stands above a fountain. Long associated with Bursa’s silk trade, the han still houses shops selling silk scarves, shawls and fabrics. After browsing, step into the courtyard for tea or Turkish coffee. Much of Koza Han’s appeal lies in this everyday rhythm: centuries of trading history continue through the shops and conversations around you.

Hidden Gems

Küreklidere Waterfall İngilizce adı kopyala

Beyond the busy streets of Bursa, on the forested slopes of Mount Uludağ, Küreklidere Waterfall offers a glimpse of the region’s wilder side. Located near Hamamlıkızık in Yıldırım district, above Bursa City Forest, this striking natural landmark descends through four stages, with a reported height of approximately 82 metres. It is one of the area’s memorable destinations for travellers seeking woodland scenery and time outdoors. The waterfall lies along the Deliçay stream, where water moves down a series of rocky drops surrounded by forest. In spring, melting snow can bring renewed energy to the flow, filling the woodland with the sound of rushing water. As the seasons change, the surrounding trees shift through shades of green, gold, rust and brown, giving the landscape a different character throughout the year. Reaching Küreklidere is part of the adventure. One approach begins near Bursa City Forest and continues along woodland trails, where some sections can be steep. Another route follows the road through the Saitabat village area towards Ören. Conditions and access may vary, so visitors should check the route before setting out and prepare for uneven terrain rather than expecting an easy, paved walk all the way to the waterfall. For travellers who enjoy hiking, photography and quieter natural places, the area offers an opportunity to experience Bursa beyond its famous mosques, historic markets and traditional villages. The forest setting is particularly rewarding for those willing to slow down, listen to the water and notice the changing colours of the landscape. Care is essential around the waterfall. Rocks and paths may become slippery, and visitors should avoid unsafe edges, follow suitable trails and take all litter back with them. Checking current access and weather conditions before travelling is also advisable. Küreklidere Waterfall reveals a different side of Bursa: one shaped not by monuments or city streets, but by flowing water, rugged rock and the changing rhythms of the forest. It is a reminder that discovering a destination sometimes means leaving the familiar route behind and listening to the landscape itself.
