  • Paçacı Hüsnü

    Paçacı Hüsnü, Kurtuluş Cad. No: 219, Yıldırım, Davutdede Mah. 16230 Bursa, Turkey
    +90 224 360 29 86

    Paçacı Hüsnü, just behind the Davutdede tramstop, is off the beaten track in downtown Bursa and is not particularly easy to find by car. It makes an excellent break if you are passing Bursa on your way south to Izmir, as you can slip on and off the motorway without getting snared in too much traffic, or at least that was the case until Bursa blossomed into a city three times the size of Birmingham. If driving, leave the Yıldırım roundabout in the direction of Ankara and take the first turning on your right after the Shell petrol station and backtrack 100 yards. Paçacı Hüsnu is on your right. You can usually find a place to park in the street.
