Tekirdağ, Port city in Marmara Region, Turkey

Located on the northern coast of the Sea of Marmara, Tekirdağ extends along sandy beaches with sunflower fields in the agricultural hinterland.

Founded in the 7th century BCE as Bisanthe, the city changed control between Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires until becoming part of Turkey.

The Tekirdağ Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography displays regional artifacts from the Early Bronze Age through the Ottoman period in a traditional building.

Visitors can reach Tekirdağ through Çorlu Airport or take buses from Istanbul, with most city attractions concentrated in the walkable downtown area.

The Rakoczi Museum preserves the residence of Hungarian national hero Francis II Rakoczi, who spent his final years in this Turkish coastal city.
