Nazilli is a municipality and district of Aydın Province, Turkey. Its area is 691 km2, and its population is 162,737 (2022). It is the second-largest city in Aydın Province, after the city of Aydın. It is east of Aydın, on the road to Denizli.
== Etymology == Nazilli is a Turkish name that has somehow evolved from the former (also Turkish) name of Pazarköy (marketplace). According to legend, the son of Aydın's governor in the Ottoman period, fell in love with a young woman from Pazarköy but was rejected by the girl's father. The young man later named the town Nazlı Ili (Nazlı's Home) after his loved one. The 17th century traveller Evliya Çelebi held that the town was named for the capriciousness ("naz") of the local women in this wealthy town. Or it could have been the name of a family of Turkomans that settled here.
