Uzunköprü
Uzunköprü takes its name from a 15th-century stone bridge across the Ergene River, claimed to be the longest of its kind in the world, and the structure remains the town's defining feature. Sitting on the routes connecting Türkiye to the Balkans and Europe, this Edirne Province town carries real strategic weight as a border crossing point, with a railway station serving onward travel in both directions.
