Hotels in Marmara Region, Turkey

The Marmara Region spans both Europe and Asia around the Sea of Marmara in northwestern Turkey, famous for Istanbul's Byzantine and Ottoman landmarks like Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace, Bursa's early Ottoman architecture, and the ski resort on Uludağ Mountain. Summers are hot, perfect for relaxing on Yalova's beaches or taking ferry trips across the sea to the Princes' Islands, while winters bring snow to Uludağ, where you can ski on slopes reaching 2,543 meters. If you visit in spring or fall, you'll enjoy mild weather for exploring Bursa's Green Mosque and Istanbul's Grand Bazaar without the peak-season crowds.
