Edremit, Administrative district in Balıkesir Province, Turkey

The district of Edremit extends along the northern coast of the Gulf of Edremit, with forested areas surrounding Mount Ida to the east.

The area traces its origins to the ancient city of Adramyttion, which operated as a significant maritime trade center during the Hellenistic period.

Edremit maintains its position as a major olive oil production center, with numerous olive groves covering the surrounding agricultural lands.

Visitors can reach Edremit through regular bus services from Istanbul and Izmir, with the journey taking approximately six hours from either city.

The district experiences a rare combination of sea and mountain climates, resulting in specific conditions that support both olive cultivation and forest growth.
