Kuşadası: An important archaeological area linked to the ancient city of Pygela on the Aegean coast has been officially placed under protection

The Otuzbirler Area Necropolis, located within the boundaries of the Türkmen neighborhood, has been registered as a First-Degree Archaeological Site by the Aydın Regional Board for the Protection of Cultural Assets.

The decision ensures the strict preservation of the necropolis, which is believed to be part of the ancient settlement of Pygela, one of the region’s lesser-known but historically significant cities.

Bahattin Sürücü, the head of a local environmental conservation group, welcomed the move, describing Pygela as “one of Kuşadası’s most sensitive areas.”

“We have a responsibility to pass on the natural and cultural landscape of this site to future generations without disruption,” Sürücü said.
