Armutlu accommodation from NZ$95

But of course, you'd be mad to visit Armutlu and not visit the Blue Mosque. Accommodation options nearby include the Tamara Suite Hotel and Invictum Residence.

The Montania Town Hotel Mudanya and the Otantik Gemi Otel - Boutique Class are two places to base yourself that are worth looking at. The Montania Town Hotel Mudanya is 18 kilometres from the main part of Armutlu while the Otantik Gemi Otel - Boutique Class lies 20 kilometres away. The Atamer Hotel is one more recommended option.

After you've hung out in Armutlu for a while, spread your wings and discover Istanbul - Marmara Region's many other charms.

Don't shoot through before you have checked out the Luna Park, Yuruyen Kosk and Yalova Ferry Terminal in Yalova. If you'd like to spend a night or two in Yalova, check out the room rates at the Kaltur Boutique Otel Villa and Lova Hotel SPA. Or, you could stay in Bursa, 35 kilometres to the southeast of Armutlu, where you'll find the Hotel Anatolia and Kadi Konagi Thermal Hotel. The Great Mosque, Green Tomb and Muradiye Complex are popular points of interest to explore when visiting Bursa.

If you love sports and want to see local games, you might choose to head to Turk Telekom Arena, which is 65 kilometres to the north of Armutlu. The Veyron Hotels and the Lausos Palace Hotel are near the action.
