Edirne (Adrianople), Thrace I guess it's just in the wrong direction: from Istanbul, most of Turkey is east and south, so no one thinks of going west.  Spend the morning seeing the fine mosques in representing the great ages of Ottoman architecture: the Eski (1418), Muradiye (1436), Ücserefeli (1447), Beyazit II (1488) and the elegant Selimiye (1575).  Walk down to the Meric (Maritza) River to see the graceful Ottoman bridges. Have tea or a meal in a shady riverside restaurant.  Edirne's tourist office (turizm burosu) is on Hurriyet Meydani, the main square, near the town's main intersection of Talat Pasa Caddesi and Saraclar/Hukumet Caddesi.   Canakkale: 230 km (143), 4 hours Gallipoli: 220 km (137 miles) S, 3.5 hours Istanbul: 235 km (146 miles), 2-1/2 hours  |
