Aydın Mountains

The Aydın Mountains are a range in southwestern Turkey that spans across Aydın Province with steep slopes and Mediterranean plant life. Deep valleys cut through the peaks where small settlements nestle between the heights.

The mountains served as natural barriers for centuries and shaped how different peoples settled the surrounding lands. Greek, Roman, and Turkish civilizations all relied on these heights to control the region.

Local communities maintain traditional agricultural practices in the mountain valleys, cultivating figs and olives while preserving ancient farming methods.

The mountains are accessible from Aydın city via regional roads that connect to various hiking trails and nature paths. Sturdy shoes are recommended since the routes can be steep and uneven.

Natural hot springs with mineral-rich water bubble up from underground sources within the mountain range. Local people and visitors have long known about these thermal waters and visit them regularly.
