An experience not to be missed. The Whirling Dervishes are nothing short of amazing. Men only are allowed downstairs where the Whirling Dervishes ceremony is held and women must go upstairs. The history is interesting and to experience such a unique ceremony is a must if you are visiting Bursa.

Kaptan June’s Hut was returned to the beach in 2010. Since then it has been used as a visitor center where people can learn about the turtles that come to the beach every year to lay their eggs.The center is very informative on the history of June's time living in the hut many years ago and her fight to protect turtles and the beautiful Iztuzu Beach. Discover how you can help now by visiting us !
This is an amazing place that takes care of sick and injured turtles which are then released back into the sea when they are well. It is free to visit but, please buy some merchandise or leave a big donation, every penny is needed to help these incredible creatures.

Beautifully restored church, which is now a museum/Library and windmill. Interesting content and translated well too. The views of both sides of the island are magnificent, as it is on the top of the hills that bisect the island. There is a cafe bar there too, which serves drinks snacks and light lunches. We walked up the hill to this museum on a fairly hot day, there is parking but I can imaging it gets busy in the hight of summer.
