Meriç River
Meriç River
Meriç (Maritsa or Evros ) is, with a length of 480 km, the longest river that runs solely in the interior of the Balkans. It has its origin in the Rila Mountains in Western Bulgaria, flowing southeast between the Balkan and Rhodope Mountains, past Plovdiv and Parvomay to Edirne. A small section of the northern branch of the river runs entirely in Turkey; it was handed to Turkey in order to prevent the town of Edirne from facing a Greek bank. The rest of the river to the sea flows along the border, near Kastanies, from where it turns south to enter the Aegean Sea near Enez, where it forms a delta. The Tunca is its chief tributary, Arda is another one. The lower course of the Meriç forms part of the Bulgarian-Greek border and most of the Greek-Turkish border. (Wikipedia) (Location: Edirne)
