Mylasa (Milas)
Mylasa (Milas)
Mylasa, Milas today, is today called almost same as in ancient times. Mylasa is in the south west of Turkey in other words it is in Muğla province. Mylasa was very important in ancient times. It was both the capital of Caria and Mentese Beylik.
Milas, like Aphrodisias, was near a marble quarry and thanks to this quarry -this quarry is still active today, Marble of Milas is still used in construction- ancient city was built.
In ancient era the city faced too many political crisis and too many wars. It was dominated by lots of kingdoms like Alexander the Great and Caria etc. And the city was destroyed a lot in those wars.
Like the other cities in the Aegean Region Milas had same historical eras. After ancient times it was under the control of Byzantine Empire then Seljuks and after that Ottoman Empire.
In Milas there are important structures that worth seeing. Because the city was devastated and destroyed in ancient wars there are not much Hellenistic and Greko Roman ruins but lots of Ottoman building worth seeing. One of the most important structure of all these is Cyclopean walls. There is a castle of Mentese Beylik and some mosques. Besides, Milas is famuos for its handmade carpets.
Milas has beautiful bays for swimming and yachting, too.,
