Iznik Hotels

İznik is a historical town in Eastern Marmara, located on the eastern shore of Lake İznik; east of Bursa. İznik, or Nicaea /Nikaia as known in ancient times, was the site of the both first and seventh ecumenical councils of Christianity, convened in 325 and 787 respectively.

Iznik is famous for its ceramics - they are better and much cheaper here than in Istanbul. Shop around in the streets behind the newly renovated Aya Sofya as quality of artwork can vary. Ceramic jewellery is a cheap and unique present - from around 5 lira a piece... Ginnie O.
