Hills of all sizes
with vineyards and sunflower
fields as far as the eye can see.
This is the region of Turkey known
as Trakya. It is separated from
the rest of Turkey by the
Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara and
the Dardenelle Straits. The first
thing a visitor coming from Europe
into Edirne would see is the
Selimiye mosque, a masterpiece of
the architect Sinan. It seems as
though this city boasts proudly of
hosting the structures most
characteristic of Ottoman
architecture.
The cities found
in this region are Balikesir,
Bilecik, Bursa, Canakkale, Edirne,
Istanbul, Kirklareli, Kocaeli,
Sakarya,Tekirdagand Yalova.
The region of
Marmara has a turbulent past. 481
years before the birth of Jesus,
during the II Persian War, the
Persian King Xerxes made a bridge
of boats over the Dardanelle
Straits between Abydos and Sestos.
In the same place we have the
renowned love affair of Leander
and Hera, who were buried in the
waters of the strait. And, it was
here that Mustafa Kemal won the
first big victory against enemy
forces in World War I.
The lively city of Izmit with its
fruit orchards and vegetable gardens is now an
industrial center. Nearby is
Hereke famous for its carpets.
The city of Gebze, on the north of
the Marmara Sea, has a very rich
historical past and the city of
Iznik, renowned during Ottoman
times for its glazed tiles, is
worth paying a visit. The land of
silk, Bursa was the first capital
city of the Ottoman Empire. In
this city, which has come to be
identified with lush green, places
worth visiting are as follows: The
Green Mosque (Yesil Cami), The
Green Tomb (Yesil Turbe) and its
splendid gardens, The Magnificent Mosque
(Ulu Cami), Emir Sultan and
Yildirim Mosques and the
Ethnographic Museum.
The country's
first ski resort was built on
Uludag Mountain, which soars into
the air just south of the city.
Tekirdag, which has beautiful
examples of Ottoman architecture
and broad beaches, is known for
its vineyards and wine festivals.
Balikesir is the center of a broad
and important region. To the north
is Gonen with its famous thermal
springs and the commercial port of
Bandirma. After Istanbul this port
is the biggest in the Marmara Sea. On
the shores of Lake Manyas near
Barindirma is the Bird Heaven (Kuscenneti)
National Park. One the shores of
the Marmara Sea are a
whole host of beautiful beaches
and holiday resorts. Among them
are Cinarcik, Armutlu, Gemlik,
Mudanya, Erdek, the Marmara and
Avsa Islands, Denizkent, Sarköy,
Silivri and lastly Yalova, a site
famous for its thermal springs.
