Tirilye, where I spent only a few hours on my last holiday, is among the places I plan to go for a weekend escape.

I added an extra working day to the 3-day-long National Holiday on 19 May, and we thought it would be wise to get out of Istanbul. We headed towards Edremit Bay early Friday morning. Wishing to be able to stop wherever we wanted, we didn't make any definite plans.

We left the TEM highway via the Bayramoğlu-Darıca by-road and took a ferry to Yalova from Eskihisar. Then we reached Gemlik and followed the signs to Mudanya. Suddenly we found ourselves driving along a stunning village road. It was so beautiful, lined with redbuds and green trees. This curving but smooth road led us first to Kurşunlu, famous for its spas, then to Güzelyalı and Mudanya, the most popular sayfiye (summer resort) in Bursa.

Then we followed the signs to Zeytinbağı (Tirilye) and, after a 10-minute drive along with a view of the sea and of olive trees, we reached Zeytinbağı.

The village is a photographer's paradise, with its old houses, cobblestone streets, the ruins of a stone school building, a church and a mosque supporting each other, and with the streets shadowed by centuries-old trees.

As you climb up the hill, you are met by "Kemerli Kilise" (Vaulted Church). It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1855 and, though it was restored in 1883, much of its originality has been lost. Inhabitants told us about the marvelous 14th- and 17th-century frescoes in the church; however, since you need permission to visit it, we did not have a chance to see those inner beauties.

The stone school building, which is called "Taş Mektep" and which has been quite destroyed, was built as a monastery in early 1900s. In addition, former Cyprus president Archbishop Makarios was among the graduates. Before the War of Independence, it was an orphanage, and since then it has been used for educational courses. The building now belongs to Bursa Uludağ University and is under restoration.

The strong northeast wind cools the summer days, however I imagine it is freezing in the winter. The coast between Tirilye and Zeytinbağı is a natural beach, but the pollution sometimes effects the view along the coastline.

I really tried hard not to pick up the colorful flowers hanging down the balconies and the naturally growing artichokes along the streets.

Your colours and nice tight composition are truly fantastic! I love the bit of pine branch that you have used for framing too

Merhaba Gurkan, amazing urban composition with a lot of splendid roofs, very well done, ciao Silvio

floransanın ünlü katedralinin yanındaki en yüksek çatılardan birini pahalı bir cafe yapmışlar ,fotografçılar rahatça çeksin diye...
siz de trilyede böyle bir çatı cafe bulmuş olmalısınız ki yüksekten yüksekten görüyoruz orayı:))
çatıları bile çok estetik yansıttığınız için
elinize sağlık

Great colours and wonderful compo.

Hi Gurkan,
I love looking over roof tops, and the view hier is fabulous. Wonderful architechture and great colors comnbined. Not sure about the pine cone on top maybe a little distracting for my taste, but it difuses the bright light very well.
