Muğla province is considered one of the magnificently beautiful Turkish provinces, with unspoilt landscapes and great cultural traditions, as well as exhilarating experiences.
This hidden location should feature in every tourist’s bucket list, providing experiences that vary from paragliding over sapphire-colored waters, to finding ancient ruins, and tasting regional specialties.
This untouched treasure of the Mediterranean, where green mountains end and blue waves begin, sits in the southwest corner of Turkey – Muğla Province.
It is a more authentic and bolder hideaway than popular Bodrum hot spots and is famous for calm landscapes and cultural activities.
A good place to start is the quaint beach town of Göcek. The energy of the art scene of Muğla, led by the celebrated sculptress Dilara Akay, says it all for this creative city. Sited in a serene garden, Akay’s gallery welcomes visitors into her private voyage of life and nature.
Adventure seekers must visit the Lycian Way. It is a 760-km hiking track tracing the Lycians, Persians, and Romans’ ancient routes.
Developer Kate Clow leads hikers through towering cliffs, rolling hills, and open vistas to breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.
Muğla is also famous for the paragliding adventure on the Babadağ Mountain. The thermals carry the gliders as they glide 1,700 meters up in the air, offering them breathtaking views of the beaches below.
Once ashore again, an exciting day can be culminated with a rejuvenating splash in the famous mud baths of Dalyan. Rich with sulfur, this mud believes the locals rejuvenates the skin, making this the perfect way to end a fun-filled day exploring this offbeat Turkish gem.
Muğla offers something for everyone: the right mix of adventure, peace, and history.
