Fast car ferries speed
between Istanbul's Yenikapi
Feribot Terminali
and Yalova
on the south shore of the Sea
of Marmara five
times daily from
7:30 am to 9:30 pm,
making the
voyage in 70 minutes, connecting Istanbul with
towns in the Aegean
region (map),
especially Bursa.
From Yalova you can take a bus (every
20 minutes, YTL7,
55 km/34 mi, less than an hour) to
Bursa's main bus terminal. From the
bus terminal you can take a city bus
to the city center (30 to 45 minutes).

(Note that the Istanbul
(Yenikapi)—Bursa (Güzelyali)
fast ferry
gets you to Bursa faster because the
land distance is shorter, and you ride
the Bursaray—Bursa's metro—to the city
center, avoiding gridlocked traffic.
