The mayor is Özkan Günenç (CHP). Enez consists of an old town centre, backing on to the Meriç/Evros river forming the border with neighbouring Greece; the harbour and Pırlanta Beach, 3 km southwest across the lagoon; and Altınkum Sahili (Golden Sands Beach), another 2 km south, which has been developed as a resort strip mainly catering for domestic tourists. Despite Enez's proximity to the Greek border there is no crossing point by land here. To cross the border into Greece it is necessary to travel north to İpsala.

Edirne
Edirne was an Ottoman capital before Istanbul and still carries that imperial confidence. Mimar Sinan's Selimiye Mosque dominates the skyline, while the Meriç river, covered bazaars, liver and oil wrestling keep the city deeply local.
