Ibn Battuta visited the Sultan Muhammad, son of Aydin, at his summer retreat located here, spending 14 days.

[5] According to unclaimed reports, during Ottoman era, it was a summer residence of Mehmet II while he was still a prince (Turkish: şehzade) governing in Manisa.

At high altitude, the town is cooler than the surrounding and some houses are used as yayla (summer resort) for İzmir or Ödemiş citizens.

Since it is located in a country with high temperatures, weather changes are common around the mountain and there can be unexpected changes which interferes with the plans of hikers, skiers and climbers.

The tracking routes require more skill, technical equipment and climbing knowledge to be able to complete successfully and safely.

The most difficult and technical route of the mountain, Dik Deresi (Steep River) is a mix of rock, ice and snow.

Ever since, the number of climbers has increased and there now is a winter celebration organized by IDADIK to climb Mount Bozdağ through different routes.
