Aydın, Urban center in western Turkey
Located in the Aegean region, Aydın spans across fertile plains surrounded by mountains, with Mediterranean climate supporting extensive agricultural activities.
The settlement, formerly known as Tralles during the Hellenistic period, transformed through Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman rules before becoming a Turkish metropolitan municipality in 2012.
Agricultural traditions shape daily life in Aydın, where residents maintain strong connections to fig cultivation, olive production, and regular produce markets.
The city connects to major Turkish destinations through comprehensive road and rail networks, with local transportation including minibuses serving the population of over 1 million residents.
At 65 meters above sea level, Aydın produces specialized figs that gained recognition throughout Turkey for their distinct quality and flavor characteristics.
