Gemlik, Administrative district on the Sea of Marmara coast in Bursa Province, Turkey.

The district of Gemlik extends over 401 square kilometers of land, bordered by mountains on three sides and opening to the Gulf of Gemlik.

The settlement started as the ancient Greek town of Cius, later renamed Prusias on the Sea after King Prusias I of Bithynia in antiquity.

The district maintains strong connections to olive cultivation, with numerous groves supplying both local markets and international trade networks throughout the region.

Two hospitals and multiple medical centers provide healthcare services to the population of 120,245 residents, with the state hospital offering 260 beds.

The name Gemlik derives from a specialized Ottoman shipyard that constructed galleons for the navy, leading to its designation as Gemilik.
