Vize is a settlement where history and nature meet with its ancient city center that it has hosted for many years, and the coastal strip Kiyikoy that has not yet been fully discovered on the Black Sea coast. With its unpolluted nature and calm air, Vize applied to become a Cittaslow Slow City and in a short time became the second important district in Turkey to receive this title after Seferihisar. The great efforts of the municipality, other public institutions and city residents in these studies constitute an important advantage for the development of Vize.

In the city where agriculture and animal husbandry are important sources of income, newly started tourism initiatives around Kiyikoy also play an important role in terms of socio-economic development. Its unpolluted nature also allows organic farming in Vize.

The financing of new projects in the city with local initiatives from external sources, the festival held regularly every year, the studies carried out by institutions regarding the promotion of the city's values ​​and the ongoing ancient city excavations in the city have led to significant changes in the city's appearance. With its Hagia Sophia Church, an important ancient theater known in Turkish Thrace, rock churches, monastery, Thracian Tumuli, castle walls, fountains, unpolluted streams and forests, the city is a candidate to be a tourism destination at least as ambitious as the Ancient City of Ephesus.
