Tekirdag: The Locomotive Province of Industry in Thrace
As you travel from Istanbul towards Tekirdağ, it's possible to see hints of Tekirdağ's identity on both sides of the road. While the left side of the road is filled with various holiday sites, the right side predominantly displays the colors of dense yellow canola, green wheat, and light yellow sunflowers according to the season. A bit further up, the densely industrial area of Çorlu and Çerkezköy districts becomes evident. This view immediately reveals that Tekirdağ is a city caught between agriculture and industry.
At the city entrance, as you pass the hills with a bit of greenery and many new buildings, the summer houses on the left give the impression of a resort town. Upon getting out of the car by the seaside, you can feel the scent of the sea, see restaurants promoting Tekirdağ meatballs on the right, the mosque inherited from Mimar Sinan, and on the left, the newly bustling Tekirdağ Port along the promenade, which otherwise appears empty except for a few simple businesses. The large shopping malls, heavy vehicle, and pedestrian traffic usually seen in rapidly developing industrial cities are yet to be felt in Tekirdağ.
The effects of the concentrated industrial area in Çorlu and Çerkezköy have not yet reflected on Tekirdağ's center. The center of Tekirdağ carries the characteristics of the more agriculturally dense western part of Thrace, rather than the east.

The advantageous position of Tekirdag in tourism can easily be noticed after a daily trip. The exile house of Rakoczi, the national hero of the Hungarians; the ethnography museum; many old houses that are on the verge of collapse; the governor's office where the first steps of the alphabet revolution were taken; Sarkoy, with its vineyards and wine, famous for its Blue Flag, but positioned as a holiday town; Ucmakdere with its paragliding events, beautiful view, and lack of facilities; Karacakilavuz with its handwoven products; the 19th Brigade, the first place where soldiers gathered for the magnificent resistance in Canakkale, and many other historical and cultural assets make Tekirdag uniquely beautiful. Despite these beauties, Tekirdag is a city that has only been able to market its meatballs due to shortcomings in promotion and infrastructure in tourism.

To the High, High Hills
Don't let them build houses on high, high hills
Don't let them give their daughters to distant lands
Let them not look down upon the only one, the mother
Let it be known to the flying birds as well
I miss my mother
Both my mother and my father
I miss my village
If my mother had a sail, she would open it and come
If my father had a horse, he would ride it and come
If my siblings knew the roads, they would come
Let it be known to the flying birds as well
I miss my mother
Both my mother and my father
I miss my village
I Wear Light, Light.
