MUGLA

A Tourism Paradise

Located on the skirts of the Asar Mountain in the south of the Aegean Region, Muğla is one of Turkey’s tourism paradises with its distinctive architecture, cozy and narrow streets, beautiful streams, beaches and forests. One of the commanders of the Seljuks, Muğul Bey took the city from from the Byzantine Empire. Therefore, the city was first called Muğul, a name that turned into Muğla over time. In addition to tourism, mineral deposits are the city’s other source of subsistence as the city has rich mineral reserves. It is also a major center of beekeeping. The region produces both flower and pine honey. Marmaris is famous for its pine honey. Orange, lemon, mandarin and grapefruit are widely grown in the districts of Ortaca, Fethiye, Dalaman and Dalyan. With its summer tourism, historical beauties, natural resources, and a rich diversity of agriculture Muğla is amongst Turkey’s must-visit cities.
