Kula
A Burnt Country on the Road of the King...
If you did a search for places to visit in Kula, you have come across that the area is also called "Burnt Country". Kula got this name because of the fact that the volcanic mountains and hills, which were numerous in the region in the Ancient Period, were constantly activated and the lava flowed negatively affected the region. As can be understood from here, most of the historical archeological evidence that can be reached about Kula, which has hosted many civilizations throughout history, has been destroyed by these lava explosions. At the same time, a question arises as to where does Kula take its name on the “King's Road”, which is famous for being the world's first trade route; According to rumors, King Giges of Sardes has a sick daughter and he sent him to a tower he built in this region and continued his treatment there. The settlement that developed around this tower over time caused the name of the region to be the Tower, and over time it became our language as Kula. As we think it is due to the fact that it is on the first trade route, the local people are talented in trade. Do not be surprised if you do not see labels in any non-corporate place where you will shop. Here too, bargaining is sunnah.

Divlit Volcano: You won't see vegetation on this mountain. It will not be able to offer you a thousand and one colors of green because the lava flows on this volcanic volcano have destroyed the vegetation by moving towards the valley for kilometers. The sharp shapes that formed were called Divlit by the people, and they separated this volcanic place, which was spread over an area of about 60 square kilometers, from the others. We can also understand the intensity of lava by observing that it transcends some valleys and forms lava waterfalls. Due to the gases it contains, some lavas have also formed some tunnels. Primitive human footprints were seen on the Divlittepe slopes. The formation of these traces is interpreted by the researchers as follows; The fine-structured ash and tuffs sprayed by the volcano turned into a mud layer with the effect of the rain afterwards, the primitive people walking barefoot on this mud layer created these traces and then freezing traces have survived to the present day. Kula invites you to a volcanic adventure.
