Understand

Explore the hidden gem of Eastern Thrace! Enez, also known as Ainos in ancient times, was once under Ottoman control, conquered by them just three years after the fall of Constantinople in 1456. The town had been ruled by the Genoese since 1355, serving as a bustling trading post along the Aegean and Black Sea. Today, Enez is a quiet provincial town that comes alive during the summer months. From June to August, people from nearby cities, especially the inland city of Edirne, flock to the beach neighborhood, which is even larger than the town itself. Experience the vibrant atmosphere of "Edirne-all-packed-and-moved-to-the-beach"! Despite its historical significance, Enez remains undiscovered by international travelers due to its former status as a military zone with restricted access for non-Turks. However, it is now open to all, welcoming visitors to enjoy its main attraction - a long, sandy beach and crystal-clear sea free from pollution. Don't miss the chance to explore the sights of Enez in just half a day, while immersing yourself in its tranquil beauty.
