Muğla (pronounced moo-lah) is an inland city in Southern Aegean, Turkey.

[edit] Understand

Muğla is a pleasant city on the side of a mountain, with a population of 61,000. Despite having the charm of a typical inland Aegean town, and being fairly close to (and, indeed the administrative centre of) the resort towns popular with international travellers (Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye to name a few), travellers often overlook Muğla.

Muğla lies on an elevation of 670 metres, and as such its significantly cooler climate is a welcome retreat from hot and sticky conditions of the coast.
