Send Flowers to Balikesir, Turkey

Balikesir is a large province in north-western Turkey with coasts on two seas, the Marmara to the north and the Aegean to the west. The provincial capital of the same name lies inland, a calm, mid-sized city whose two central districts are Karesi and Altieylul, with Balikesir University on its outskirts.

Much of the province's fame comes from its coast: the olive groves of Edremit and Ayvalik, the summer towns on the Gulf of Edremit below Mount Ida, and the port of Bandirma on the Marmara. The region is known for olive oil, dairy products and a soft cheese dessert called hosmerim. Retirees from Istanbul and Ankara settle along the Aegean shore.

To send flowers to Balikesir, order before midnight local time and a local florist delivers the next day, Monday to Saturday. Because the province is so spread out, always write the district and town clearly, along with a phone number for the recipient. Sundays and main public holidays are excluded.
