Mediterranean Region, Administrative region on the southern coast of Turkey.
The Mediterranean Region covers 122,927 square kilometers, extending from the Aegean Region in the west to Southeastern Anatolia in the east.
The region functioned as a major crossroads between ancient civilizations, with Greek, Roman, and Ottoman settlements establishing notable trade routes along its coast.
Each province in the Mediterranean Region maintains its own festivals, traditional crafts, and regional dishes based on local ingredients and seafood specialties.
The eight provinces of the Mediterranean Region operate under a centralized administrative system, with governors appointed by the national government in Ankara.
The Toros Mountains run parallel to the coastline, creating distinct climatic zones between the coastal areas and the inland territories.
