Çerkezköy is a town in Eastern Thrace, the European part of Turkey - or rather, it's the nucleus of a sprawling conurbation, with a population of 174,529 in 2019. It's modern, industrial and devoid of tourist sights, but it does have accommodation and other amenities. You would only come here for business or a family funeral.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
A small lake in an oak woodland. Just in case you need somewhere relatively leafy for barbecuing or cycling.
Very central, but tiny basic rooms and cleaning erratic.
Mid-range place, gets very mixed reviews.
Modern hotel at the intersection north edge of downtown. Large rooms, not well maintained.
Simple basic hotel, fair value for what you're paying.
Business hotel with rooftop pool.
By train
Çerkezköy is on the main line from Europe to Edirne and Istanbul, so the nightly Bosphorus Express from Sofia and Bucharest arrives in the early hours of the morning, reaching Istanbul for 05:30.
By bus
Istanbul Seyahat and Kale Seyahat buses both run hourly from Istanbul, taking about an hour, for a fare of 120 TL. Some continue to Saray.
By car
The town is 110 km east of Istanbul: follow O-3 / E80 toll highway then branch onto D567. From IST airport follow O-7 to join O-3.
The core of town is the 2 km strip along Atatürk Cd, called Gazi Osman Paşa - this part is walkable and has most visitor amenities.
