Marmara and Aegean coasts in Eastern Thrace
Marmara and Aegean coasts in Eastern Thrace
Miles of beaches, stony and sandy, crowded and lonely alike; fishing towns, vineyards, and pine forests here and there
Eceabat — main town on Gallipoli Peninsula, serving as a hub to WWI memorials
Enez — a small town on the Maritsa delta, where Maritsa River empties into the Aegean Sea; a quite well-preserved Byzantine citadel and long sandy beaches are the main attractions
Gelibolu — historical town on the Straits of Dardanelles, at the base of the peninsula known by the same name (Gallipoli)
Kumbağ — main nightlife spot of Eastern Thrace, with some kitschy bars and (overcrowded) beaches
Marmara Ereğlisi — site of ancient city of Perinthos, once administrative centre of the region, now a small town
Mürefte — town at the centre of the wine country of the region, with some Greek architecture left from the former inhabitants
Şarköy — has the only beach of Eastern Thrace that was awarded the ‘Blue Flag’, which guarantees beach and seawater purity; many wineries are also to be found around this pleasant town
Silivri — a town rapidly changing into a suburb of Istanbul
Tekirdağ — pleasant coastal city with some traditional wooden architecture, and where 18th century Hungarian independence leader, Ferenc Rakoczi II, was exiled
Geographically speaking, the city of Istanbul is also partially in Eastern Thrace, but culturally it is a world afar and should be considered as a region on its own.
