Yalova

Small museum of city life, but few artifacts, and the displays are only in Turkish.

Muteferrika (1674-1745) was an ethnic Hungarian from what is now Romania, who converted to Islam and became an Ottoman diplomat. He was a polymath scholar who established the first printing press with movable Arabic typeface, but the scribes who copied manuscripts saw the threat to their livelihood and got him shut down. The child-friendly museum displays the history of paper and printing.

This is a beach-house used by Atatürk in his later years, now a cafe. The name is because it was relocated 3 km along the waterfront: supposedly by itself upon Atatürk's command, actually with jacks and rails. It's an interesting example of how fairytale legends get started.

Small arboretum set up by businessman and environmental activist Hayrettin Karaca.
