Foça Halal Travel Guide

Foça, not unlike many others along the Aegean Turkey|Aegean coast, is a town about 3000 years old. For most of its history, it was known as Phocaea/Phokaia, which was the metropolis ("mother city", i.e. sailors of which founded the colony) of a number of cities in western Mediterranean, including Marseille, France.

Modern Foça is one of the towns with a impeccably maintained old town full of stone/Greek architecture on the Aegean coast, along with others such as Ayvalik|Ayvalık, Alaçatı, and Çeşme, but perhaps the least known and the least travelled of them.

Foça was for long known for its local breed of roosters, but with the growing environmentalist movement, critically endangered Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus)—after which, known as fokia in Greek and fok in Turkish and the town was named in the first place—largely replaced them as the mascot of the town. Around 20 individuals of this species, which is estimated to have a worldwide population of fewer than 600, live on the uninhabited islands just off Foça.

Foça is sometimes colloquially called Eski Foça ("old Foça") as opposed to Yeni Foça ("new Foça"), another town about 20 kilometers to north, which was founded only about 800 years ago.
