You cannot come to Tekirdağ and not return without eating meatballs. Especially if you're on your way to Abdi Özcan, the famous meatball shop in Süleymanpaşa, you're not taking any chances. If you have a piyaz with crispy and juicy Tekirdağ meatballs cooked on the grill, followed by Hayrabolu dessert, you will have a good start to your local flavor tour.

Speaking of dessert, Hayrabolu dessert offers a completely different experience with its cheese and sherbet flavor. Topped with tahini, clotted cream and some walnuts... Peytat in Tekirdağ is one of the addresses to visit for this.

For cheese halva lovers, Tekbaş bakery is one of the first stops that comes to mind. Slightly crunchy on the outside, dense and thick on the inside. After the meatballs, it is just as it should be.

Local recipes such as Çeneçarpan soup, which even makes you wonder about its name, are among the alternatives that warm you up, especially in winter.

Another special taste is the burma sausage of İnecik village. Prepared with natural methods, this sausage can be found at Şık Kasap in the village center. Before leaving Tekirdağ, famous for its vineyards, you should definitely taste the natural grape juice.

If you are looking for an appetizer to go well with your meals, the papaz mancas will stick in your mind with its garlic and vinegar flavor. You can try it in places like Mezeci Çorlu in Çorlu.
