At the end of July 2026, large-scale wildfires broke out along Turkey’s southwestern coast. The fires engulfed areas near popular tourist destinations, including Antalya, Kemer, Alanya, as well as Muğla Province, home to well-known resorts such as Fethiye, Bodrum, and Marmaris.

The flames have spread rapidly due to extreme heat and low humidity, forcing the evacuation of hundreds of homes. Some buildings have also partially collapsed as a result of the fires.

The wildfires have affected more than 10 provinces, including Antalya and Muğla. Several thousand firefighters and emergency personnel, supported by more than a thousand units of ground and aerial firefighting equipment, have been deployed to combat the blaze.
