Tekirdağ is a coastal province in Turkish Thrace, stretching along the northern shore of the Sea of Marmara. The city, historically known as Rodosto, is famous for its distinct köfte (spiced meatballs), wine production in the Şarköy district, and sunflower-dotted landscapes. Visitors enjoy a relaxed Marmara coastline far less crowded than İstanbul's beaches, backed by rolling vineyards, Thracian history, and a lively rakı culture.
