Marmara Region

The Marmara Region is a key area in northwestern Turkey, connecting Europe and Asia across the historic Bosporus Strait. It’s Turkey’s smallest but most densely populated region, home to Istanbul, the country’s largest city. The region is an economic and cultural hub, featuring busy ports, industrial zones, and historic sites. It benefits from a mild climate and diverse landscapes, including coastlines, hills, and plains. The Marmara Region plays a vital role in Turkey’s trade, transportation, and tourism, serving as a bridge between continents and a center of modern urban life and historical heritage.
