A Hidden Gem on the Aegean Coast: Trilye
Trilye is a small coastal town located in the Yenişehir district of Bursa. As I roamed around the town, I couldn't help but notice the well-preserved Ottoman architecture and the colorful houses. The town is famous for its olive oil production and there are several shops where you can buy local products. I visited the Trilye Mosque, which was built in the 14th century and has stunning Islamic calligraphy. The town has several small beaches where locals go for swimming. The water temperature was perfect, and I collected some water samples to analyze later. I also observed how humans interacted with nature and each other in a small town environment. It was fascinating to see how the town's residents took care of their environment and each other. Overall, Trilye is a beautiful and serene place that offers a chance to experience traditional Turkish culture.
