Balikesir is a province that stands out with its historical and natural riches, acting as a bridge between the Marmara and Aegean regions of Turkey. The city, which has coasts on both the Marmara Sea and the Aegean Sea, is famous for its wide coastline, beaches and olive groves. The oxygen emanating from the Kaz Mountains makes the region attractive not only for local tourists but also for foreign visitors. Also drawing attention with its historical texture, Balikesir hosts temples, castles and structures from the Ottoman period dating back to ancient times. Holiday resorts such as Ayvalik and Cunda Island offer local flavors for gastronomy enthusiasts. In addition, the hot springs of Sindirgi and the thermal waters of Gönen are known for their healing properties. This rich mosaic makes Balikesir an important destination both naturally and culturally.
