Bursa to Yalova

Overview

Yalova sits on the Marmara coast a short 70 km run from Bursa, and the drive down from the city takes about an hour through changing scenery, from Bursa's plain to the pine-covered hills above the sea. Your Haqqi Tours driver meets you at your Bursa hotel or the airport with a private Mercedes minivan or Sprinter, useful for families travelling with spa bags, prams or extra luggage for a longer thermal break. Yalova is known for its hot springs and thermal hotels, a favourite for a relaxing few days away from the city, and some travellers use it as a stopover before a ferry crossing to Istanbul. The driver confirms your price on WhatsApp before travel and drops you directly at your hotel door.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the driver take us all the way to our thermal hotel in Yalova?
Yes, the drop-off is directly at your hotel entrance, whether it is one of the thermal resort hotels or a smaller guesthouse in town, so there is no need to arrange a second taxi on arrival.
How long is the drive from Bursa to Yalova?
The coastal road covers around 70 km and normally takes about an hour, though your driver allows a little extra time on busy weekend afternoons along the route.
Can we be dropped at the Yalova ferry terminal instead of a hotel?
Yes, the driver can take you straight to the ferry terminal if you are continuing on to Istanbul by sea, and this is easy to arrange when you share your onward plans at booking.
Is there room for spa bags and extra luggage?
Both the minivan and Sprinter have space for spa bags, robes and extra luggage on top of standard suitcases, and larger groups are welcome to mention their bag count in advance.
Can you collect us from Bursa airport rather than a hotel?
Yes, pickup from Bursa airport is arranged the same way as a hotel pickup, with the driver holding a name board and tracking your flight before the coastal drive begins.
Do you provide a child seat for the coastal drive?
Child seats are available on request, fitted to suit your child's age, and it helps to mention this when booking so the right seat is ready in the vehicle.
What if our arrival time changes on the day?
Message your driver or our WhatsApp line as soon as your time changes, and the pickup from Bursa is rearranged accordingly without affecting your agreed price.
Is the price fixed regardless of coastal road traffic?
Yes, the price confirmed before travel does not change because of traffic along the coast road, since it is agreed as a fixed amount rather than calculated by the minute.
Can the driver wait if we have a short stop on the way?
Flag a planned stop for this coastal run at the time of booking rather than on the day, and the driver builds the extra minutes into the schedule for the drive down to Yalova.
How do we confirm and pay for the booking?
The booking is confirmed by message once your price and pickup details are agreed, and payment follows the method arranged at that point, fixed in writing before you travel.
