Turkey Kirklareli Tours

Swim in the chilly waters on the Igneada, Kiyikoy, and Kastro beaches; visit the floodplain forests where the environment and fauna will make you feel as if you have already gotten to paradise; and listen to the birds around the lakes Mert, Erikli, Saka, Hamam, and Pedina in Kirklareli. This border city offers more than just natural beauties; the mosques Hizir Bey Luleburgaz Sokullu Mehmet Pasha, Babaeski Cedid Ali Pasha, Vize Small Hagia Sophia, and the monasteries Vize Magara and Kiyikoy Aya NikolaAyazma should be added to your Kirklareli tour. Spring, summer, and autumn are the best months to visit Kirklareli.

100+ tours & activities

Kırklareli Tours cover a border province in Turkish Thrace, close to Bulgaria, where flood plain forests, lakes and a stretch of Black Sea coastline sit alongside Ottoman era mosques and Byzantine monastery ruins. The province receives fewer visitors than nearby Edirne, giving its beaches and forests a quieter, less developed character.

Kırklareli sits within a wider Turkey itinerary through the Thrace region, often combined with Edirne or the northern Marmara coast.

Coastline and Flood Plain Forests

The beaches at İğneada, Kıyıköy and Kastro sit along Kırklareli's Black Sea coast, with İğneada also known for the flood plain forests protected within a national park, a rare ecosystem in Turkey where trees grow in seasonally flooded lowland. The lakes Mert, Erikli, Saka, Hamam and Pedina, scattered through the park, support a wide range of bird life.

Ottoman and Byzantine Sites

The Hızır Bey and Sokullu Mehmed Pasha mosques in Lüleburgaz, along with the Cedid Ali Pasha Mosque in Babaeski, represent the province's Ottoman religious architecture. Near Vize, the Small Hagia Sophia and the rock cut Vize and Kıyıköy monasteries add a Byzantine layer to the region's historical sites.

Local Tours

Travelers can pair a visit to the province's mosques and coastline with the Daily Kırklareli Turkish Bath Tour for a traditional bathing experience in the city.

Best Time to Visit Kırklareli

Spring, summer and autumn all offer comfortable conditions for the province's beaches and forest parks, with summer best suited to swimming along the İğneada and Kıyıköy coast.
