Tekirdag City Car Hire

Tekirdağ is a coastal city on the Sea of Marmara in Thrace, located about 135 km west of Istanbul and known for its famous meatballs (Tekirdağ köfte) and wine production. With a rental car, you're in Istanbul in just over 1.5 hours via highway E84. The city is characterized by vineyards and olive groves along the Marmara coast.

The Namık Kemal Museum in the center honors the famous Ottoman poet, and the Rüstem Paşa Caravanserai is an Ottoman gem worth visiting. Drive Route D110 along the coast to Şarköy (50 km) for Thrace's most beautiful wine landscape. Avoid driving toward Istanbul on Friday afternoon when traffic on E84 is heavy.

Visit Tekirdağ during the Wine Festival in September for the best experience. How far is it from Tekirdağ to Edirne by car? Edirne is about 130 km to the west, roughly 1.5 hours' drive via E84 and the TEM highway.
