Aydın Province, Province in southwestern Turkey
The province stretches along the Menderes River with fertile plains bordered by the Aydın Mountains in the north and Menteşe Mountains in the south.
The region, formerly known as Tralles, served as a significant center for sculpture during ancient times and contained a renowned school dedicated to this art form.
The province maintains the tradition of Zeybek, a regional dance performed in rings by participants wearing tasseled fez hats, striped jackets, and traditional gaiters.
Travelers can reach the province via the İzmir-Aydın motorway or take one of five daily passenger trains connecting the region to İzmir and Denizli.
The province produces Turkey's highest quantity of figs, with the Germencik district yielding specimens considered superior in quality for international export.
