The ancient city of Miletus once held immense significance as a thriving port town. Additionally, it served as a melting pot for fostering brilliant minds in philosophy, science, and art, nurturing luminaries such as Thales, Anaximenes, Anaximander, and Hekataios.
Witnessing the reigns of various empires, it left behind a wealth of significant architectural marvels. Until the earthquake of 1955, it stood as a lived-in city but was subsequently abandoned due to the devastation.
Today, the lack of preservation of its remains is disheartening for visitors, as it fails to receive the recognition it deserves. Yet, even in its current state, the city retains its grandeur without losing its magnificence.

A brown bear has been captured on camera for the first time in a forest near Marmaris.
Now the forests are turning green again after 4,392 hectares of forest turned to ashes and the wildlife disappeared last summer, it's a small piece of good news for the area.
Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University Fethiye Vocational School Environmental Protection Technologies Department Lecturer Dr. Yasin Ilemin said, "The fires of 2021 and 2022 destroyed the most important habitats of the rare bear populations living in the low red pine forests. With our studies, we identified the last areas they took shelter. Their ecological wishes should be taken into account when designing the area they live in. Thus, fragmented and destroyed ecosystem parts can be reconnected."
