In late August, fig trees produce fruit, though technically, a fig is an inverted flower that blooms internally. This is when fresh, sweet figs are ready to eat, but they spoil quickly unless preserved through traditional methods like making jams, chutneys or drying them. Fig spoon sweets are made from May's male figs, which don't develop into the familiar large fruit.

Bursa's black figs, which received geographical recognition from the European Union in September, are readied for export to Europe following their harvest in early to mid-August, depending on the seasonal temperatures every year.

The ancient city of Sogmatar in the southeastern province of Şanlıurfa, known as the "City of Prophets," attracts local and international tourists with its historical wells, rock tombs and reliefs.
