Bozdoğan is a town and district of Aydın Province in the Aegean region of Turkey, 76 km (47 mi) from the city of Aydın.
Bozdoğan is high on the side of Mount Madran, the source of the popular Pınar Madran mineral water, which is bottled, packaged and distributed from Bozdoğan. There is a cool breeze up here, a relief from the heat of the valley below, and the people of Bozdoğan see themselves as culturally different from the valley people. The local economy depends on agriculture, especially olives,figs, fruits and vegetables.
Bozdoğan itself is a small, quiet town of narrow streets, population 8,300, but has high schools and other basic amenities. The cuisine includes a pide (a flat bread) flavoured with tahinli and eaten with fresh cream.
