Its story
Babadağ is a highland town at an average elevation of 717 m, reached by a winding road from Sarayköy. Because of the scarcity of farmland, its people have long made their living from weaving and tailoring, and this know-how played a role in the birth of Denizli's textile industry. The old houses on the slope are protected as an urban conservation area and stand out for their colorful facades. Chestnuts, et kapama (slow-cooked meat) and keşkek are among the local specialties.
