[1] Üsküp is situated to the east of Kırklareli at a distance of 16 kilometres (9.9 mi).

Turkish traveller Evliya Çelebi in the 17th century describes Üsküp as a relatively populated place famous for wine production.

Evliya mentions that the hundreds of Muslims of the neighbouring Kırklareli, Vize and Saray towns married with the Greek and Bulgarian girls of Üsküp which were renowned for their beauty and had many children.

[3] The Bulgarian inhabitants left the settlement in 1913 while the Greek population stayed until the end of the Turkish War of Independence.

The decomposed granite soils in Üsküp gives different aromas to grapes here.
