VENUE OF THE PROJECT
The province of Mugla is located in the Western part of Turkey, at the intersection point of the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea. It has the most significant beach resorts of Turkey like Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, Datca and Koycegiz. Its coasts have a total length of 1100 km, making it the longest coast line in Turkey.
Mugla hosts more than 3 ,5 million foreign tourists and local tourists every year, thanks to its high quality touristic infrastructure. The touristic strength of Mugla Province makes it one of the richest provinces in Turkey.
Mugla City is a city where you can enjoy four seasons at the same time. One day you can enjoy the sun at Gökova Bay, the other day you can enjoy the snow on the mountain Yilanli that is only 30 min. away. The small size of the city as well as its safe environment make it a good place for living. So far volunteers staying in Mugla experienced it as an open-minded region with friendly and hospitable people.
The project location of the volunteer is Mugla City with a population of 64.000.
The city is connected to main roads and within easy reach of most historical and touristic spots. It hasn’t got any transportation problem and hasn’t got too much industrialization. It has an economy based on agriculture. The air pollution is less than in other Turkish cities because there is only a small amount of industrialization and a lot of wide green fields. Because Mugla has its own university, students make up most of its population. This has caused that Mugla has a lot of activities and places appealing to young people. It is a vibrant city with festivals, theatre performances and concerts organized throughout the year. Its history and its being close to touristic places are its most important features.
