The state road D.110 (European route E90) connects the border checkpoint İpsala with Tekirdağ at the coast of Marmara Sea.

The town consists of 6 quarters: Kapucu, Saraçilyas, Bayrambey, Köprü, Bozkurt and Fatih.

From the 7th century onward, the bishopric of Cypsela, initially a suffragan of Traianopolis, appears in the Notitiae Episcopatuum as an autocephalous archdiocese.

[4][5] No longer a residential bishopric, Cypsela is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.

[6] İpsala has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen: Csa),[7] with hot, dry summers, and somewhat cold, moderately wet winters.
