Muğla Province

The province extends over 12,654 square kilometers and features a 1,100-kilometer coastline with numerous bays, gulfs, and mountainous landscapes along the Aegean Sea.

This territory belonged to ancient Caria until 1390, when the Ottoman Empire gained control, except for a brief period of Menteshe Beys rule following Tamerlane's victory.

The region preserves numerous archaeological remains, including the tomb of ancient Greek boxer Diagoras and over 100 excavation sites across the Mediterranean landscape.

Two international airports, Dalaman and Milas-Bodrum, connect the province to major European cities, while multiple marinas accommodate vessels along the coast.

The province's coastline extends longer than many countries, containing fourteen districts including Bodrum, Marmaris, and Fethiye, each with distinct geographical features.
