Itinerary

After meeting at the specified points in the morning, we set off. After a 232 km journey of approximately 2.5 hours, we reach Edirne, which was the ancient Thracian village of Orestia, the city of Hadrianapolis during the Roman period and the capital of the Ottoman Empire for 92 years and a museum city with its architectural works. Passing by the Great Synagogue of Edirne and joining the Turkish territory with the Lausanne Peace Treaty of 24 July 1923, we see the Historical Meriç Bridge, the Lausanne Monument, and the Historical Train Station during our visit to the Karaağaç region, which is 4 kilometers from Edirne, and take a break in the countryside café. After our break here, we return to Edirne City Centre and start our trip in Edirne. We visit the ruins of Edirne Palace (Palace kitchens, Cihannüma Pavilion, Sand Pavilion and Bath) and Balkan Martyrdom where Fatih Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror and Cem Sultan were born and ruled in the palace, historical Kırkpınar oil wrestling square, Justice Pavilion, Fatih and Saray bridges. We go to the Edirne Balkan History Museum, which is an important point for the defence of Edirne during the Balkan Wars. After seeing this place, we go to the Necmi İğe House Ethnography Museum, which has been operating since 1930, to see the examples of Turkish Art from the Seljuk Period to the present day. Afterwards, while visiting the Bayezid II Complex Health Museum, where mental patients were treated with water sound, music and fragrances in the 16th century and which was awarded the European Museum award by the Council of Europe in 2004, you will listen with amazement at how Ahmet Kutsi Tecer's poem "Tree and Ivy" gained meaning. After our visit inside the palace, we visit the famous Three Şerefeli Mosque, famous for its gate in the city centre of Edirne, the Old Mosque (Ulu Mosque), famous for its writings, and the Selimiye Mosque, where we can also see the famous Inverted Tulip, which Mimar Sinan said was his masterpiece. In Arasta, we give free time and a shopping break for the opportunity to buy Edirne Cheese, Edirne's old tradition Mirror Bride's Broom, and Local Fruit Soaps. After our free time, we stop by a place where we can taste and buy many local flavours such as Edirne's famous Deva-i Misk dessert, marzipan, and Kavala cookie (Keçecizade). After discovering the local flavours as well as the historical texture of Edirne, our journey back to Istanbul begins. In Istanbul, we leave you, our esteemed guests, at the departure points and say goodbye with the hope of meeting you in another Gazali Tourism organisation.

I am 6 feet tall and 220 lbs. This shirt fit me perfectly in the chest and shoulders. My only complaint is that it is so long! I like to wear polo shirts untucked. This shirt goes completely past my rear end. If I wore it with ordinary shorts, you probably wouldnt be able to see the shorts at all – completely hidden by the shirt. It needs to be 4 to 5 inches shorter in terms of length to suit me. I have many RL polo shirts, and this one is by far the longest. I dont understand why.

The shirt was not the fabric I believed it to be. It says Classic Fit but was made like the older versions, not the soft cotton like my others. I don’t understand how the labels are the same but a completely different shirt. Oh well, stuck with it now.
