Aydın is a province / municipality on the Aegean coast in western Turkey . In ancient times the region was a border area of Caria with Lydia and Phrygia . The capital of the province is the city of Aydın . In today's borders it is one of the smaller provinces of the country with 8,117 km², but is relatively densely populated with more than 1 million inhabitants (approx. 133 inhabitants per km²).

It borders the provinces of İzmir in the north, Manisa in the northeast, Denizli in the east and Muğla in the south.

Administrative division

The province is divided into 17 İlçe , which resemble a district in terms of settlement in rural areas and a district in urban agglomerations. In 2012, the old community of Aydın was dissolved and a large city community ( Aydın Büyükşehir Belediyesi ) was established in its place . For this purpose, the old urban area was divided into several municipalities ( Belediye ) and with these and neighboring municipalities, the metropolitan municipality was formed. Successive was founding and dissolution of municipalities and transfers of village ( Koy ) organizations in Mahalle organizations a Einräumigkeit made by local government (by the Belediye) and state government (through the İlçe), the field of individual communities that with the result the state administrative district of the same name. Following an administrative reform in 2014, the metropolitan area covers the entire province. The municipal self-government organs at provincial level ( İl Meclisi ) were dissolved and their responsibilities were transferred to the administration of the metropolitan municipality. The province thus became a purely state administrative district.

The 17 İlçe are:

The province is connected to İzmir on the Aegean coast by the O31 ( E87 ) motorway via Selçuk . Inland, the E87 and the railway line continue via Aydın and later (to Denizli) turn south into the Taurus Mountains to the Turkish south coast.

Geography and history

The centrally located provincial capital Aydın has around 180,000 inhabitants. About 80 km from the Aegean Sea, it is located in the valley of the Great Meander ( Buyuk Menderes in Turkish ), the 550 km longest river in Western Anatolia.

Its valley runs through the entire province in an east-west direction. Most of the cities and towns (e.g. Söke and Nazilli ) are located in this area, and its upper reaches lie in the neighboring province of Denizli to the east .

The border with the northern province of İzmir is formed by the Aydın Mountains (Aydın Dağları), which run parallel to the Great Meander and reach a height of 1800 m several times. The southern half of the region is divided across by four large side valleys .

Between Söke and Aydın lies the old Magnesia , upstream at Sultanhisar the remains of ancient Nysa .

The coastal plain of the Great Meander has widened several kilometers to the sea by the sediments of the river since the Greek- Ionian period . About 15 km north and south of the estuary you can visit the remains of the cities of Priene , Miletus and Didyma .

This landscape, which is only sparsely populated today, was a settlement center for the Ionian Greeks for two and a half millennia . The whole region was shaped by Ephesus . The capital of the Roman province of Asia is now a few kilometers north of the provincial border at the mouth of the Little Meander (Turkish Küçük Menderes ), which was called Kaystros in Greek . The name of the province comes from the Turkmen dynasty of Aydın-Oğulları , who conquered these former Byzantine areas in southwest Asia Minor at the beginning of the 14th century during the collapse of the Rumeljuk state and an empire with centers in Ephesus (Ayasoluk) and Birgi (Pyrgion) founded, which was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1390 and finally in 1425/1426 .

The province of Aydın is famous for its figs , so the majority of the Turkish fig production comes from Aydın.
