Babadağ is a town and a highland district of Denizli Province, Turkey, reached by a steep, winding road uphill from the town of Sarayköy. It was known in antiquity as Salbacos. Agriculture is hard on this mountainside and thus the people have been making a living from stitching clothing in Babadağ for a long time, and others have migrated to Denizli, İzmir and Istanbul. Thus this is the hometown of many of Denizli's successful traders and textile entrepreneurs including Ahmet Nazif Zorlu, the founder of Zorlu Holding. The Babadağ dollar is Denizli slang for my word is my bond. There are still active workshops in the town, which is also a popular mountain summer holiday location.
