The picturesque city of Tekirdağ, nestled along the coastline of the Marmara Sea, welcomes visitors with a rich mix of attractions. It is particularly renowned for its commercial harbor and the production of sunflowers, the beloved local specialty meatballs, and the traditional Turkish spirit, Rakı.
A key historical highlight of Tekirdağ is the Rakoczi Museum, housed in a traditional Turkish structure from 1720 that once served as the residence of Hungarian Prince Ferenc Rákóczi II. Other notable landmarks include the beautifully designed Rüstem Pasha Mosque and the informative Tekirdağ Archaeological Museum.
If you're seeking a coastal retreat, Marmara Ereğlisi is a top choice, famed for its historic ruins and peaceful summer homes. In contrast, Şarköy, located approximately 60 kilometers (37 miles) west of Tekirdağ, offers an idyllic beach resort setting, complete with sandy shores, vacation villages, and a strong reputation for wine production—highlighted by its annual wine festival. Additionally, both Kumbağ and Barbaros are seaside gems featuring expansive beaches that are perfect for sunbathing and relaxation.
