Eastern Thrace

There are four border posts with Bulgaria one rail, others highway and three border posts with Greece one rail, others highway, most of which are located on the banks of Maritsa River Turkish: Meriç, Greek: Evros, which forms most of the Greco-Turkish border. The major ones are Dereköy north of Kırklareli highway crossing into the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, Kapıkule west of Edirne known as Kapitan Andreevo on the other side of the border, highway crossing into Central Bulgaria, which can have quite long queues in summer, Uzunköprü railway crossing into northeastern Greece and İpsala west of Keşan highway crossing into northeastern Greece. There are trains (http://www.tcdd.gov.tr/tc...) and buses crossing any of these border posts.

The region is also well connected to Istanbul by highways and a motorway toll-road, buses and trains. It’s even possible to find a direct bus from Istanbul to a village well off-the-beaten-path. Please note that all trains to the region departs at European station Sirkeci of Istanbul, not Haydarpasa, the Asian one

There are two international airports in the region: Ataturk Airport of Istanbul and Corlu Airport though Corlu Airport is reserved for flights from ex-Soviet countries only.

There is also a substantial number of ferries connecting towns and cities located on the southern and northern Thracian coasts of the Sea of Marmara.
