The village of Tirilye (or Trilye) is 12 kilometers west of Mudanya on a winding seaside road. Originally a Greek port village dating a back to 500 B.C., the town is also known by its Turkish name, Zeytinbağı (“olive yard”), a name that pays tribute to the olive orchards that blanket the hillsides surrounding the village. Tirilye is a sleepy little village: tractors clog cobblestone alleyways, old men sit on stools outside tea houses, women peddle olive oil near the seaside, fishermen work for a catch off the concrete wharf, boats line the harbor, and out-of-towners wander the streets enjoying the fresh sea air and looking for a glimpse of village life. Tirilye is a worthwhile afternoon drive from Bursa. Not only can you get a good plate of locally caught seafood, you can appreciate the sea views and enjoy the serenity of a quiet, modest village. And if you’re a photographer with an eye for the simpler ways of life, you’ll enjoy the village’s abundant supply of fantastic photo opportunities. Here are a few snapshots from our recent visit. Hope to see you soon in Turkey 😊 ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ 📷 @ebrusuebrusu_ ✌👌👍❤ ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ #marvellsofturkey #love #instagood #photooftheday #beautiful #happy #cute #tbt #like4like #followme #picoftheday #follow #summer #instadaily #friends #repost #nature #smile #instalike #family #travel #igers #tagsforlikes #beauty #amazing #instagram #photography #photo #bestoftheday #turkey
