The Karabağlar Yayla (Black Vineyard) Plateau

The Karabağlar Yayla , three kilometres from Muğla, is well worth seeing. The Karabağlar, with its cold spring waters, tall plane-trees and many fruit trees is a good place to refresh yourself on hot summer days. The white red tiled houses on the high plateau bear the same characteristics of the Muğla houses. These residences have also been placed under protection and any inappropriate construction is banned. The locals protect their houses and the environment. A surprise awaits those who come to visit Karabağlar. In the restaurants of the Süpüroğlu district there is a special dish called "kuyu büryanı" (a meat dish cooked in an underground oven). We recommend that you do not miss it. There is no doubt that the high plateau would soon become an attraction point for tourists if it is developed by preserving its natural and historical delights. In the vicinity of Muğla, there are other visiting and picnicking areas apart from the Karabağlar. Among the leading sites is one of the mountains that surrounds the plateau, the Kızıldağ, where there is the Kızıldağ Picnic Area with its pine forest and the Yaraş Picnic Area which is 18 kilometres from Muğla on the Denizli road.
