(TN3) he
Marmara Region occupies the northwest corner of the country and
represents 8.5% of the total area of <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Turkey</a> with its 67.000 square kilometers of land.
Being a point of juncture between Europe and Asia, this area has
seen thousands of tribes and their<a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\"
href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">civilizations</a> passing through, from one continent
to the other.
(???) s the core of this background, the famous city
of <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Istanbul</a> stands, with all its magnificence, and
signs from its far-reaching past. It has such a location that it
constitutes not only a city of history, but also one of natural
beauty beyond example. Extending on the two sides of the <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Bosphorus</a> bordered by green groves, it also
possesses beautiful shores along the internal <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Marmara Sea</a>. Facing the city there exists small,
pretty <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http:
rel=\"external nofollow\">islands</a>, adorning this big sea,
lying in the middle of the region. The sea features the land in
that the <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http:
rel=\"external nofollow\">climatic</a> characteristics of the <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Black Sea</a> influencing the north of it, is
separated from the typical <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\"
href=\"\" http: rel=\"external nofollow\">Mediterranean</a><a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">climate</a> prevailing in its south. Rainfall is high
enough to facilitate growing a variety of fruits, while snowfall
enlivens the winter<a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http:
rel=\"external nofollow\">holidays</a>.
(???) ludag, one of the main
peaks of <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http:
rel=\"external nofollow\">Turkey</a>, is the most prominent <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">mountain</a> in this region, and one of the most
popular <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http:
rel=\"external nofollow\">ski</a>-resorts with every kind of
convenience provided. At the foot of Mount Uludag, \"Green\" <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Bursa</a> is located, with its dense forests covering
the mountains and wide meadows, which give it its title. It is
another center of historical importance, its rich past being
kept alive in its <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http:
rel=\"external nofollow\">mosques</a> and <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">tombs</a> of wonderful <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\"
href=\"\" http: rel=\"external nofollow\">architectural
design</a>. Ancient <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http:
rel=\"external nofollow\">Iznik</a> (Nicea) is the same, as is
the charming city of <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\"
http: rel=\"external nofollow\">Edirne</a>which is on <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Thrace</a>, the European side of <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Turkey</a>.
(TN3) here aren\'t much altitudes in Marmara
region so low altitude valleys and plateaus occupy a great
percentage of the area. There are some important <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">rivers</a> and <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\"
http: rel=\"external nofollow\">lakes</a> within the region.
Bordering Greece and Bulgaria, the land in <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Thrace</a> is covered by wide fields of sunflowers
and vineyards, while olive groves are found extending all over
the region, like the <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\"
http: rel=\"external nofollow\">gardens</a> in <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Balikesir</a> on the<a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\"
href=\"\" http: rel=\"external nofollow\">Anatolian</a> side.
Amongst <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http:
rel=\"external nofollow\">agricultural</a> products growing in
the region we can count wheat, sunflower, corn, sugar beads,
rice, olives and vineyards. About 73% of sunflower production
and 30% of corn production of <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\"
href=\"\" http: rel=\"external nofollow\">Turkey</a> comes from
Marmara region. In the same district there is a special spot
nearby a broad <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http:
rel=\"external nofollow\">lake</a>: the <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">National Park</a> of \"Kus Cenneti\" (Bird Paradise)
which is a bird sanctuary sheltering birds of over two hundred
species.
(???) ecause of its close location to Europe, being on the
Trans-European motorway (TEM), existence of <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Bosphorus</a> and <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\"
href=\"\" http: rel=\"external nofollow\">Dardanelles</a>Straits
as a passage from <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http:
rel=\"external nofollow\">Black Sea</a> to <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Aegean Sea</a>, ports on the <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Black Sea</a> and <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\"
href=\"\" http: rel=\"external nofollow\">Aegean Seas</a>, and
many other advantageous factors make this region heavily
advanced in industry, commerce, <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\"
href=\"\" http: rel=\"external nofollow\">tourism</a> and
transportation. Main industrial establishments are on the <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Istanbul</a> - <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\"
http: rel=\"external nofollow\">Bursa</a> - <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Kocaeli</a> triangle producing especially processed
food, textile, cement, paper, petrochemical products,
automotive, house furniture, leather and ship
construction.
(???) rovinces in this region: <a
data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\" http: rel=\"external
nofollow\">Istanbul</a>, <a data-ipb=\"nomediaparse\" href=\"\"
http: rel=\"external nofollow\">Bursa</a>, <a
