Okay, there's nothing
really wrong with Bandirma,
the city on the southern shore of
Turkey's Sea
of Marmara (map).
It's the convenient transfer
point between
the fast
ferries to/from Istanbul,
the express
train to Izmir, and buses to/from Çanakkale,
the Dardanelles and
the northern Aegean
coast.
You can spend a pleasant few hours
in Bandirma (bahn-DUHR-mah,
pop. 80,000), but
most travelers are just passing through.
Bandirma has hotels and restaurants
within walking distance of the ferry
docks, but few tourists stay here,
preferring to move on to where they
really want to be.
Here's info
on buses and trains, distances and
travel times to and from Bandirma.

Bandirma is
mostly a modern, concrete city.
These are among the very few
Ottoman buildings you'll see.
