Gemlik
A waterfront town on the Gulf of Gemlik in Bursa Province, this industrial port traces its origins to the ancient Greek settlement of Cius and is widely known for its black olives. Mountains ring the gulf on three sides, and the Karsak stream divides the town centre. Gemlik's name itself means shipyard, and its harbour remains one of Turkey's busiest import ports, with a free-trade zone alongside active industrial facilities.
