Citizens from various provinces, especially Istanbul and Tekirdağ, have started to visit the fields covered in shades of purple. The lavender field, planted over approximately 7 acres in Tekirdağ's Süleymanpaşa district, is waiting for its visitors.
Visitors from Istanbul said, "We came from Istanbul. We liked it very much, and they have prepared it beautifully. The lavenders are wonderful."
The owner of the field, Hakan Turgut, stated, "We have started to welcome our guests to our lavender garden with our beautiful decorations. We are receiving a lot of visitors, especially from Istanbul and other provinces. We invite everyone to come and take beautiful photos."
