Edirne is a historic city in northwestern Turkey, situated at the confluence of the Tunca and Meriç rivers near the borders with Greece and Bulgaria. Once the Ottoman capital known as Adrianople, Edirne served as the empire's most important city from 1369 to 1453 before Mehmed II conquered Constantinople. Today the city is celebrated for the UNESCO-listed Selimiye Mosque — architect Mimar Sinan's acknowledged masterpiece — alongside a remarkable cluster of Ottoman mosques, bazaars, and palace ruins. Edirne hosts the Kırkpınar Oil Wrestling Festival, one of the world's oldest sporting events, held annually for over 660 years at the riverside Sarayiçi grounds.

Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
Tava ciğer is traditionally eaten in the morning — many ciğer specialists are busiest 07:00–11:00
Edirne beyaz peynir (white cheese) varies by producer — the best is sold loose in brine at bazaar cheese shops, not pre-packaged
Badem ezmesi travel well in vacuum-packed boxes; buy at dedicated sweet shops on Saraçlar Caddesi for authentic quality
Ask restaurants for the 'günlük yemek' (daily special) — unlisted on tourist menus but always the freshest and cheapest option
Rakı etiquette: dilute with cold water until the spirit turns milky white (cloudy) — this is the traditional 'lion's milk' preparation
