Nightlife
While tekirdaä is one of the cities with the highest alcohol consumption per capita in turkey, there is no real nightlife in the city in a typical sense, only a few local pubs and discos are present. discos are located in the first street running parallel to atatã¼rk blvd you can enter from cumhuriyet sq, the main entrance of downtown area from shoreline. the pubs on åã¼kran sokak also known as sinemalar sokaää± might be good places to observe the locals but these kinds of places traditionally tend to be men-only. yelken kulã¼p on the west end of the shoreline promenade, tel +90 282 261 44 66 should also be mentioned as well. it has an indoor hall with a full view of the sea, and there is live music generally local soft-rock cover bands at some of the nights every week. half a litre =500 ml, roughly a pint of beer costs 8 tl there.
TekirdaÄ raki
Connaisseurs say the best raki, turkish national drink, is the one that is produced in tekirdaäâs raki and wine factory located about 2 km west of downtown. although there are no signs on the bottles that guarantee it was produced in tekirdaä, you can be pretty sure that any bottle you have bought in tekirdaä is locally produced.
Liman Ãay Bahçesi
It's easy to think of TekirdaÄ as a little fishermen town rather than a city of 108,000 people while having a coffee in completely open-air Liman Ãay Bahçesi i.e. "Quay Tea-Garden" which commands a view of a part of the city as well as the fishermen's wharf next to which it's located.
