Tekirdağ Province, Administrative province on the Marmara Sea coast in European Turkey

Tekirdağ Province extends across 6,190 square kilometers of East Thrace, featuring both coastal regions along the Marmara Sea and inland agricultural territories.

The area transformed from ancient Bisanthe to modern Tekirdağ through successive civilizations, including Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman control until 1922.

The region maintains extensive vineyards and wine production facilities, with 22 villages in Şarköy district dedicated to grape cultivation and winemaking.

The province connects to Istanbul through regular bus services and maintains an airport, while its seaport facilitates trade across the Marmara region.

The province houses the Rakoczi Museum, dedicated to Hungarian national hero Francis II Rakoczi, who spent his final years in exile in Tekirdağ.
