The present study was conducted in order to determine some physical properties of the soils in the Aegean Region where grape cultivation is carried out intensely. With this survey study conducted between the years of 2010 and 2013, physical analyses were carried out on soil samples collected from 17 different species from the cities of Manisa, Denizli, Izmir, Usak and Aydin. Soil samples were taken from two different depths as cm and cm, and Texture (Bouyoucos 1955), Total Lime % (Caglar, 1958), Total Soluble Salt % (Soil Survey Staff, 1951), Organic Substance % (Walkey and Black, 1947) and pH (Jackson, 1967) (Kacar, 1995) analyses were performed. A general evaluation of the soil samples showed that in terms of total soluble salt % the samples were non-saline, in terms of organic substance % the samples contained very low, low and medium level of organic substances, in terms of total lime % the samples varied from low to extremely limey, and in terms of pH values the samples were slightly alkaline, alkaline and strongly alkaline. With the examination of the texture groups of the samples on the other hand, varying soil texture groups from sandy to clayey were found
