Edirne
Capital of the Ottoman empire before Mehmet II conquered Constantinople and moved his court there,
Edirne is blessed with imperial building stock, a notable culinary heritage and a lingering and
much-cherished sense of civic grandeur. Close to the Greek and Bulgarian borders, the city has a
European flavour that is best appreciated in summer, when locals party on the banks of the Tunca and
Meriç Rivers and cheer on the contestants at the world-famous Kırkpınar oil-wrestling festival.
