Ula is a municipality and district of Muğla Province, Turkey.[2] Its area is 479 km2,[3] and its population is 26,613 (2022).[1] Its name reflects the ancient town of Ula in ancient Caria, whose site is conjectured to be nearby.[4]
The town of Ula is situated at a distance of only 14 km (9 mi) from the province seat of Muğla, a mile after a bifurcation on the road to Marmaris. It is notable for its old houses in the Turkish style and the vast forest region that extends to the south along the country road called Çiçekli after the town. The history of the inhabitants and the town, situated in ancient Caria, can be traced at least as far back as the dynasty of Menteşe.
The towns of Akyaka and Gökova, situated at a close distance to each other at the tip of the Gulf of Gökova, are both rising centers of international tourism.
