Abstract

The Milas Fault (MF) is a poorly understood active fault located between the Büyük Menderes graben to the north and the Gökova graben to the south within the Anatolian–Aegean Region, SW Türkiye. This dextral strike-slip fault has a length of 55 km between Bafa Lake in the northwest and Çamlıca village in the southeast, with a general strike of N60°W, and its surface trace displays two separate geometric segments.
