Apparently it was Yahya Kemal..

Well..actually..for a person who is a an istanbulie, living in Ankara will be like 'a seagull living in steppe'.

I know exactly what you mean. I too have heard this phrase but not related to a Turkish location. oooooooh!
I think it's one of those phrases that has become common in many countries.
I once heard it put this way too:
The best thing about x x x x is the sign as you're leaving "z z z z" 120 miles.
or
The best thing about x x x is the road out of there.
My dead says about a place in Scotland, "there are only 2 good things about that place . . . the whisky and the road out.
