Yatagan Travel Information:

Yatagan is a town and district of Mugla Province in the Aegean region of Turkey, about 26 km (16 mi) to north of Muğla.

Situated in the heart of ancient Caria and, during the 13th - 14th centuries, of the territory of the Anatolian beylik of Menteşe, the district boasts several localities of interest rich in history and in natural beauty. The region is covered in large part by Mediterranean pine forests.

At a distance of 10 km (6 mi) to the west of the district center, in the direction of Milas, is the ancient site of Stratonikeia, in the present-day village of Eskihisar, and at walking distance from the ancient city is its sanctuary Lagina, near the present-day township of Turgut. Turgut was called Leyne officially until recent date and is still called as such locally.
