The name Digda is a Lydian word of unknown significance. This took on the Turkish form Adagide, which remained the name of the town until quite recently, when the name was officially changed to Ovakent.
Digda is about 14 km east of Tire and 12 km south of Odemi, and can be reached fromeither of these two centres. It is situated on the north slope of the mountain range surrounding the southern section of the valley of the Kucuk Menderes at a point where the hills descended to the plain. The remotenes of the site has resulted in its remaining completely undeveloped.
