For an authentic taste of Turkey
Sometimes overlooked in favour of busier seaside towns, the provincial mountainside city of Mugla in southwestern Turkey is starting to see an increase in visitors looking for a slower pace of holiday and a more authentic experience of the country.
Mugla holidays are an opportunity to get closer to Turkey’s traditions and rituals, architecture and history, as well as its present-day character. The city’s attractive centre is easily explored on foot, meaning that on holidays to Mugla you can gaze at its great mosques, haggle at the bazaar and seek refreshment in the tea gardens quite comfortably in a day or so.
The city’s location close to the Aegean shore means you’re never more than a couple of hours from classic holiday fun in the sun. But just as fortunately, Mugla’s mountainside location means you can retreat from the strongest daytime heat and enjoy cooler evenings and nights. So for a Turkish holiday with a difference, head for the hills.
