Getting There
-
Car
If you are traveling by car in Thrace, start your journey from Edirne, a major city in the region. Head east on the D550 highway towards Tekirdağ. After approximately 90 kilometers, you will reach the town of Tekirdağ. From Tekirdağ, continue south on the D110 highway, which leads directly to the Thracian Sea. The total driving time from Edirne to the Thracian Sea is about 1.5 hours, depending on traffic conditions. Ensure to have cash for tolls along the highways.
-
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, take a bus from Edirne's main bus station (Otogar) to Tekirdağ. Bus services are frequent, with departures every hour. The journey takes around 1.5 to 2 hours. Upon arriving in Tekirdağ, you can catch a local dolmuş (shared minibus) heading to the coast. The dolmuş services are available near the bus station and will take you directly to the beach area of the Thracian Sea. Make sure to have a small amount of Turkish Lira for the bus fare.
-
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, you can hire a taxi from Edirne or Tekirdağ to take you to the Thracian Sea. This option is more expensive but offers convenience, especially if you are traveling with luggage or in a group.

Expect to pay a higher fare compared to public transport, potentially around 300-400 Turkish Lira for the trip from Edirne.
