The Edirne tour starts with an early departure from Istanbul, as you will have a nice drive ahead of you, first alongside the European Cost of the Marmara Sea, and then towards inland Thrace. You will witness the unique countryside lifestyle at this region.

Major sights to visit in Edirne are; The Selimiye Mosque, the masterpiece of Architect Sinan and The Üç Şerefeli Mosque, as well as the The Covered Bazaar.

Edirne served as the capital city of the Ottoman Empire from 1365 to 1453; until the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul) which became the empire's new capital.

This beautiful city is famed for its many mosques, elegant domes and minarets; and it contains the ruins of the ancient palace of the Sultans. The Selimiye Mosque, built in 1575 the master architect Sinan,his masterpiece by his own words, is located in Edirne as well. It has the highest minarets in Turkey, at 70.9 meters, of an altogether grandiose appearance, and a cupola three or four feet higher than that of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.

You may also try the regional cuisine, or have some delicious sea food along the drive back to Istanbul.

What a wonderful experience. I commend Sukru Aygul and Hulya Civelek from Travalium for the excellent service they provided during the private tour to Edirne July 09, 2016. Their hospitality was exceptional and is greatly appreciated. The absolute highlight was an unexpected visit to the Sultan Bayezid II Health Museum. Sukru took the initiative when I mentioned my career in health services. It was a magnificent day indeed.
