Manisa

Over Manisa

On the fertile Aegean plain, Manisa is known for its vineyards and history. The “Weeping Rock” (Niobe) legend and the tulips of the Spil Mountain National Park are famous, while ancient Sardis was the capital of Lydia, where coinage was invented. Its plateaus and forests suit camping; mesir paste and seedless sultana grapes are Manisa’s world-known flavours.
