The word "casaba" — the English name for a variety of melon — comes from this city in Turkey's Manisa Province, known historically as Kasamba or Casaba, which was a significant regional trade hub in the 18th and 19th centuries. Set in a fertile alluvial plain with access to markets through nearby İzmir, Turgutlu sits within reach of several UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region and close to mountain terrain.
