Food and Things to Do

One of the true highlights of a holiday in Mugla is the local food. Expect fresh, seasonal ingredients, grilled meats, and plenty of meze dishes. Dining is a social affair here, and you will find that the hospitality is consistently warm.

When you are not enjoying the amenities at your hotel, there is plenty to explore. A stroll through the old town areas of the various resorts is a must for those who enjoy local architecture and a bit of history. If you prefer to stay active, many of the resorts offer organised activities, or you can simply hire a boat to explore the hidden coves that dot the shoreline. The region is well-accustomed to British visitors, so navigating the local towns is generally straightforward and relaxed.

Getting There and When to Go
