Ortaca (Turkish pronunciation: [oɾtadʒa]) is a municipality and district of Muğla Province, Turkey.[2] Its area is 285 km2, and its population is 54,478 (2022).[3][1] Formerly a township part of Köyceğiz district, it was made into a separate district in 1987.[4]
Ortaca's economy is based on agriculture. It lies midway between Dalaman and Köyceğiz.
