I'd recommend Mark Mazower's book "Salonica" - it's a social/cultural
urban history that tells you a lot about the whole region. Not much
about archaeological sites, but it tells you why they aren't there
any more.

Edirne has a superb concentration of early Ottoman stuff. There isn't
much else between there and Istanbul. Again, the interesting things are
social. Kirklareli is probably the largest Gypsy city in the world, and
while it's very dull considered as an urban landscape, it's fascinating
to see how Gypsies organize things when they get a reasonably free hand
to do so. (The fact that they have zero interest in monumental building
is telling in itself).

Accommodation is impossible. If you're interested hire a camper van.
