Where and when was Mandıra Filozofu filmed?

Mandıra Filozofu is a Turkish film that seeks answers to questions such as 'What do we really need to live?' and 'Does money bring happiness?'

The film, which was shot in 2014, stars Müfit Can Saçıntı and Rasim Öztekin.

After Mandıra Filozofu achieved a successful result at the box office, the sequel, Mandıra Filozofu: İstanbul, was filmed.

Where was Mandıra Filozofu filmed, and where is the bay where Mustafa Ali lived?

To find out where Mandıra Filozofu was filmed, we look to Muğla. The village of Çökertme, located in the Milas district, served as the setting for many of the film's scenes. The bay where Mustafa Ali lived and which Cavit Bey wanted to purchase is located approximately 1 kilometer from the village. Mustafa Ali's bay became so popular over time that it was tagged on Google Maps as 'Mandra Filozofu Mustafa Ali'nin Cennet Köşesi' (Mandıra Filozofu Mustafa Ali's Corner of Paradise).

Bad news from Mustafa Ali's bay

The region, which many people visited after the film Mandıra Filozofu and which even became a tourist spot, burned down during the major Mediterranean wildfires in 2021. Along with the trees, the stone house we saw in the film Mandıra Filozofu was reduced to ashes.
