Getting there & away
Bursa’s otogar is 10km north of the centre on the Yalova road.
The fastest way to get to İstanbul (€5, 2½ to three hours) is to take a bus to Yalova, then the İDO fast ferry (444 4436; www.ido.com.tr) to İstanbul’s Yenikapı docks. Get a bus that departs Bursa’s bus terminal at least 90 minutes before the scheduled boat departure.
Karayolu ile (by road) buses to İstanbul drag you all around the Bay of İzmit and take four to five hours. Those designated feribot ile (by ferry) take you to Topçular, east of Yalova, and then by ferry to Eskihisar, a much quicker and more pleasant way to go.
