Bursa Cumal1k1z1k

It seems that Cumalikizik formed the backdrop for some movie or tv-series, because of its many old houses. This drew attention to the place, and its now under restoration, a protected site, all that. It snowed rather heavily but in summer this place will be crawling with tourists. People in Bursa told me they never knew it existed, until this moviemaking.

Thank you for all these beautiful pictures.
I am from Bursa, even though I live far far away now, I love the city. Cumalikizik is a very beautiful village and even before the tv series the houses were famous or maybe I just knew this becuase I lived close by. That's a shame that now there are restorations and people are coming to visit this place after they had seen it on tv. I've been to Cumalikizik many years ago, I might say, when it was pure. The people were more friendly, more welcoming and not everything was to earn money. I suppose that's what happens when a place becomes popular. I visited the place 2 years ago again and it seemed very different. Too crowded, all about making business. I'm afraid after the tv series ends, people will still go for a while and then they will forget but it will never be the old Cumalikizik again.
