Fast car ferries speed
between Istanbul's Yenikapi
Feribot Terminali
and Güzelyali,
just east of Mudanya on
the south shore of the Sea
of Marmara, several times
per day, making the
voyage in 80 minutes.
After debarking at Güzelyali,
look for the line of people buying
bus tickets (YTL2).
The yellow city bus, or a smaller minibus,
takes you in 20 or 30 minutes to the Organize
Sanayi (OHR-gah-nee-ZEH
sah-nah-yee) terminus of the Bursaray
(Bursa's
Metro; YTL2),
from which it's another 15-minute ride
to the city center. More...
From Bursa,
you can catch an onward bus to
anywhere in the Aegean
region (map),
and indeed anywhere in Turkey.
