Marmara Tours & Trips

Think Turkey's Marmara region is just Istanbul? The area around the Sea of Marmara includes Istanbul obviously, but also Bursa with its Ottoman heritage and skiing nearby, and Edirne's impressive mosques near Bulgarian border. You're visiting thermal baths, exploring the Dardanelles' WWI sites, with the Prince Islands ideal for car-free relaxation. Marmara's where Europe meets Asia geographically and culturally, and it’s a must visit.
