Denizli
Nestled against high mountains near the Bьyьk (Meander)
River is Denizli. Surrounded by the natural beauty of a
verdant valley, the area is also rich in culture and history.
The Luvians were the first inhabitants, followed centuries
later by the Hittites. Throughout centuries, the fertile
plain nourished other civilisations: The Phrygians, Lydians,
Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, and
the Ottomans. Modern Denizli is a city of wide streets,
parks and hotels. The Atatьrk Ethnography Museum in the
city center displays folk art and ethnic artifacts. While
shopping in the Kaleiзi Зarsisi look for souvenirs of copper,
jewellery, towels and silk blouses. You can choose among
Зamlik, Incilipinar or Gцkpinar Parks for a rest, picnic,
or simply a walk through the forest in the shade of pine
trees. The fresh water springs and thermal baths attract
many visitors.
