TürkiyeCennet
Marmara is a narrow but varied geography joining two continents. İznik on its lakeshore, snow-holding Uludağ and natural routes only a few hours from the city all sit within the same region. In the middle of dense population, unexpectedly quiet corners are hidden.
What sets the region apart is how history, nature and city life interweave over short distances. Content for Marmara is still in preparation; the places below show the roadmap for the work ahead.

A small island off Çanakkale that runs on wind and vineyards: a Venetian-era fortress, one stone-built town, and long beaches along the southern shore.
