Çine (formerly Kiroba), hemmed in by the mountain ridges of the eastern (Topçambabadag 1,792m/5,875ft) and western (Teke Dag 1,276m/4,185ft) Mentese highlands, is a regional center barely 60km/37mi northeast of Milas. Agricultural land predominates in the lowlands of the Büyük Menderes valley with the cultivation of Mediterranean fruit and vegetables. This region was densely populated in the past and many ancient remains can be found. About 7km/4mi to the southwest near Araphisar and its ruined castle the important ancient site of Alabanda lies on the left bank of the Çine Çayi (Marsyas in antiquity). This free town which prospered in Roman times was also known as Antiocheia and became famous for its wealth.
