Southern Sea of Marmara
This large port lies on a bay of the same name on the southern Sea of Marmara, facing the southeast side of the KapiDag peninsula. It has an airport and is the terminus of the Izmir to Balikesir railroad. A busy commercial and industrial center, it has a regular ferry service to Istanbul (the first modern harbor was built in 1924). In 1943 a 2,500ha/6,180 acre farm was set up on the southern outskirts of town to rear merino sheep. Because of Bandirma's industries, its bay is not particularly attractive to holidaymakers.
