Explore the city of Mugla
If you want an all-inclusive holiday at a reasonable price, you will often come across the city in the province of the same name. The city has over 64,000 inhabitants and is located in the mountainous region of southwestern Turkey. The city is the capital of the province of the same name. In terms of residents, it is one of the smallest provincial capitals, but there is still a lot on offer. The city is known for its museums with ancient treasures, for the carpet factories and for the old town, which is very well preserved. Mugla has been settled since the early Bronze Age, and then the Lydians and Phrygians made periods of settlement. The name goes back to a general named Muglu Bey, who is said to have briefly conquered the city. The term Mobella, however, was common in the Middle Ages. The first urban development plan was recorded from 1936 to 1939 and the tourist development of the city began in the 1970s. Tourism and agriculture remain the main industry.
What is the best time to travel?
The province is about 20 kilometers away from the Mediterranean coast. The city is embedded in the Asar Mountains and is located at 660 meters. The precipitation values for the country are relatively high, which means that the older houses from the city have the characteristic chimney heads with the rain protection. These chimney heads show the coat of arms of the city. The best time to travel is from May to October, because there are pleasant to hot temperatures and little to no precipitation. In July there is the highest average temperature of 33 degrees and in January the lowest temperature is 10 degrees. The climate and weather are ideal for a sun holiday. The Mediterranean climate is therefore available for an all-inclusive holiday. The temperatures in winter are always mild and summer is dry and hot.
