Sındırgı
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Sındırgı: visit a thermal spring, see the carpet market and, if in September, catch the Yağcıbedir Festival.
Sındırgı is a small town in Southern Marmara known for geothermal springs and traditional carpets. Its sights are clustered, so a single day covers the main attractions; the September carpet festival adds a cultural highlight.
