I think the current map in this article is the most accurate one we have showing the territory Italy occupied in Anatolia. If we're to follow it, Italy also occupied modern
Muğla Province, apart from Antalya Province. Also, to use the modern Antalya Province in this context is anachronistic, as the Italians retreated before the Republic of Turkey (and the Antalya Province I presume) were established.

Super Dromaeosaurus, thank you. I am not convinced by the map in our article - it seems to be a Treaty of Sevres map with someone drawing a line for the Italian-occupied area without sourcing.
Zero0000 recently produced a much better version of the ToS map (
File:SevresTreaty.png), so may have come across this question in his research for that map.

The map only shows annexed areas and not influence zones. Italy wasn't supposed to annex anything in Anatolia, but only have influence over a small part of it. I've been told by a knowledgable Turkish friend I have that Italy only occupied the land between
Muğla and
Antalya, with some land east of the latter but not as much as shown in the map here (which means the occupation zone wouldn't correspond to the Antalya Province in the east).

Hi
Super Dromaeosaurus, interesting thanks. Note also the
Treaty of London (1915) which stated in Article 9: Generally speaking, France, Great Britain and Russia recognise that... in the event of the total or partial partition of Turkey in Asia, [Italy] ought to obtain a just share of the Mediterranean region adjacent to the province of Adalia, where Italy has already acquired rights and interests which formed the subject of an Italo-British convention. The zone which shall eventually be allotted to Italy shall be delimited, at the proper time, due account being taken of the existing interests of France and Great Britain... If France, Great Britain and Russia occupy any territories in Turkey in Asia during the course of the war, the Mediterranean region bordering on the Province of Adalia within the limits indicated above shall be reserved to Italy, who shall be entitled to occupy it.
