20. 4.5 Muradiye Camii (22 reviews)
    - Another must-see early mosque
    Historic Sites • Religious Sites
    
    
    Do not miss the Muradiye, built in the 1430s and second in age here only to the Ulu Camii. Although quite central, on one side the landscape opens up into a vista of fields. This is a very peaceful setting, and the mosque itself is striking, primarily for its two types of tiling: early blue & white Iznik, and cuerda seca work, probably by Tabriz craftsmen. The mosque was originally a zawiye for flloweers of the Mevlana. The original painted wall decoration needs restoration, but there are some huge calligraphic letters to admire. See more..

24. 4.5 Saroz Korfezi (5 reviews)
    - Camping at Saroz
    Beaches
    
    
    Went there by car to camp by the sea and within the forrest. Nature was wonderful, but it was very crowded due to the long weekend. It should be great within the week when there is less people. Camping site was good, facility was taken good care. There were enough electric sockets, toilettes and showers. No hot water, though... It is a bit expensive and markets near camping site sell things expensive, too. Bring your kettle with and come when there is no holiday. ☺️ See more..
    
25. 4.0 The Grand Bazaar of Edirne (228 reviews)
    - Shop til you drop
    Flea & Street Markets
    
    
    Found some great bargains, however it did require a lot of haggling. Go to a few shops and get an idea of prices for items then haggle. It's easy to get lost as the alleys all look the same. Toilets are by the entrance and will require 1 lira to get in (reminds me of blackpool). Some.Shop keepers are rude and lack customer service they just want your money esp if your a tourist, don't be pressured to buying walk off! See more..
