Bandırma
A port city on the southern shore of the Marmara Sea in Balıkesir Province, Bandırma serves as a major ferry hub with daily connections to Istanbul and Tekirdağ, and rail links toward İzmir. Most visitors pass through rather than stay, though the waterfront location and the bird life on the lake to the south offer reasons to linger. Turkey's fifth-largest port by volume, it sits roughly two hours from Istanbul, Bursa, and İzmir.
