Marmara Ereğlisi (say mar-mah-rah eh-reh-lee-see) is on the Marmara coast in Eastern Thrace, the European part of Turkey. It's the first town west on the coastal highway after you leave the Istanbul metropolis, so it's a weekend resort for the city. This coast has been heavily developed, especially with the BOTAŞ gas terminal 5 km east, where LNG is pumped ashore from tankers and stored then put into the pipeline. In 2019 the Marmara Ereğlisi district had a population of 26,007.
