Protokol Evi, (at the end of Maritsa Bridge towards Karaağaç). Run by city council, this is an open air cafe immediately on the banks of Maritsa with a pleasant building historically used as a checkpoint at the entrance of the city. Elegantly decorated with wrought iron chairs and tables, the cafe has a distant view of Selimiye above the trees on the opposite riverbank. Nothing else but hot and soft drinks is served at the moment (that means no snacks!). 0.50 TL for a glass of tea.
