ALBAWABA - Murat Yıldırım and Fahriye Evcen have reunited for a new project.

Murat Yıldırım and Fahriye Evcen are back on screen together after nine years. The popular Turkish stars have teamed up for Turquoise Summer, the latest miniseries produced as part of the Go Türkiye project.

The new production was created by the Turkish Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (TGA) in cooperation with NTC Medya. Like previous Go Türkiye projects, the series aims to introduce Turkey's most beautiful destinations to international audiences through a story-driven format.

Turquoise Summer takes viewers to the breathtaking coastal regions of Bodrum and Göcek. Known for their crystal-clear waters, hidden bays, luxury marinas, and stunning natural scenery, the two destinations play a central role in the story.

The series is directed by Semih Bağcı and features a strong cast alongside its two lead stars. Sedef Avcı, Aslıhan Karalar, and Yılmaz Bayraktar also appear in the production.

Fahriye Evcen plays a character named Su. According to Turkish media reports, Su is a woman trying to leave behind her past and change the direction of her life. During her journey, she meets Toprak, played by Murat Yıldırım. Their encounter sets the stage for a romantic story that unfolds along Turkey's famous turquoise coast.

Sedef Avcı portrays Derya, while Aslıhan Karalar appears as Nil and Yılmaz Bayraktar plays Burak.

One of the biggest reasons for the excitement surrounding the project is the reunion of Murat Yıldırım and Fahriye Evcen. The pair previously worked together in the 2017 film Sonsuz Aşk (Endless Love). Their on-screen chemistry was widely praised at the time, and many fans have waited years to see them share the screen again.

Filming began in Bodrum earlier this year. Photos from the set quickly attracted attention on social media and in Turkish entertainment news. The beautiful filming locations also became a major talking point among viewers.

The project is the latest chapter in the highly successful Go Türkiye miniseries series. Previous productions have featured some of Turkey's biggest stars while showcasing destinations such as Istanbul and Cappadocia to audiences around the world.

According to information shared by Go Türkiye, the miniseries projects have generated billions of impressions and views across international digital platforms. The campaign has become one of Turkey's most successful tourism promotion initiatives, helping introduce the country's culture, history, nature, and travel destinations to a global audience.

With its romantic storyline, stunning scenery, and star-studded cast, Turquoise Summer is expected to attract significant attention both in Turkey and internationally. The production not only reunites two beloved actors but also shines a spotlight on the beauty of Bodrum and Göcek, bringing Turkey's turquoise coast to viewers around the world.
