The most interesting place in Mahmutlar, you can easily visit on foot — the picturesque ruins of the ancient city of Naula (Naula Antik Şehri), an ancient Roman settlement (330-1453 AD) - the end of the Byzantine era. It is located right in the middle of the blocks of Mahmutlar's newest residential real estate and covers an area of 33 hectares. 200 meters from the sea. The whole of Turkey, the one outside the hotels, the big museum of antiquities, just go, watch, enjoy. There are opinions that the city was the seaport of the nearby Ancient city of Learta. The history of the settlement goes back far into the Roman and Byzantine cultures. There are remains of a theater, Christian churches, watchtowers, baths, a columned alley and even pits where wild animals were kept. Walking between the ruins, windows and entrances to former buildings going underground are clearly visible. With all this, the place remains unexplored to this day. There is definitely still a lot of interesting things for specialists under the hills on which the city stands, but for now locals are strolling here, enjoying the aromas of wild herbs and birdsong, and cows and goats are grazing on the ruins (tied so as not to run away or scare passers-by). That's how it is.

A place where you can feel like Indiana Jones, there is a banana jungle around, and the ruins are not gentrified. The most underrated historical place in all of Anatolia.
