Regional center of sultaniye grapes:<br />

ALAŞEHİR<br />

H. OĞUZ ESEN<br />

Alaşehir is a place where you could not visit passing through<br />

by the road. You must love traveling and tasting or exploring<br />

local goods or have a loved one to go there. Basically the reason<br />

is when driving by the Izmir-Ankara highway you need to<br />

go 6 more km from Salihli intersection to Denizli road and finally<br />

in total 40 km. to visit Alaşehir.<br />

With a population around 100,000 people, today Alaşehir is<br />

the sultaniye grapes regional center. Sweeping through vineyards<br />

and watching the local homes built in the middle; taking<br />

photograph is a nice memory for every traveler.<br />

Alaşehir is a city where, Pergamum Kingdom, Roman and Ottoman<br />

Empire invaded and mostly independence wars from<br />

every nation took place. Therefore, each civilization left a<br />

little bit of its own culture to this place. You can see this everywhere<br />

and now it’s the city’s culture. For example, most important<br />

historical monuments mentioned in Bible is also one<br />

of the 7 Anatolian churches during the Roman period around<br />
