Once the capital of the province of Lydia, the site features well-preserved city walls, the temple of Aphrodite, the theatre, and the stadium.

I was surprised to see that this place does not receive many visitors, yet it is every bit as spectacular a site like Ephesus. This is a beautiful location where you will see the remains of Roman Baths, senatorial meeting hall, large stadium and chariot racetrack in very good condition than the Circus Maximus (though a bit smaller in size).

Afrodisias is a truly amazing site and definitely worth a visit - although a little "off the beaten track" the whole area is quite breathtaking. Archaeologists are currently on-site and working. There is also a Museum on-site (air conditioned) with excellent examples of statues and friezes taken from the excavations. Once the area has been reconstructed the plan is to return these statues to their original places. You can also visit a "stadium". The whole area is well signposted and there is no entry charge.

Once an ancient city of Ionia, Prine, with its well-preserved remains of the Temple of Athena, theater, gymnasium and many excavated houses, form one of the best examples of the grid type of town-planning.

This is the second time visiting this ancient site and yet once again blown away by the layout of this once-upin-a-time city. The this time was 10tl, increased from 5tl since my last visit. And I did mention that the site was not maintained well by the on-site management regarding rubbish, although there seems to be -some- progress now. We were upset this time as there was a recent fire that caught the lower part of the site, damaging a significant area. These areas were filled with ash and burnt trees; the firemans hose(s) were left on site. The best way to get here is by car as it is on a hilltop, just beneath a vertical mountain slope and somewhat from a relative distance from the popular tourist destinations. There are plenty parking spaces as the site is not, strangely enough, as popular as other sites like Efes (Ephesus). If you are travelling here on a -very- hot day (40ish) then be sure to take a water bottle with you as there is a lot of walking to do. Unfortunately the kiosk at the entrance did not sell water so we had to go back down to the village just below the site. Upon entering the site, you walk up the huge ancient stairs after which you will find signs directing you to the various areas pf the city. You will also come across some parts in the city that has been closed for archaeological excavation, which shows that the city may be bigger than it seems. Whilst there is no logical route of direction, I would strongly suggest you take the time to explore every possible corner of this ancient city. Be careful of the “no access” areas though, they’ve been closed as it can be dangerous to enter.

We visited on a shore tour from Kusadasi. Our first stop was Ephesus, then onto Miletus. A lot of driving in our day, but it was so worth it. We were unable to visit the Great Theatre at Ephesus and were disappointed, so it was great to be able to sit in the majestic ampitheatre here at Miletus. One of our fellow travellers, who was unable to climb the stairs treated us to a performance of a Scottish song his Dad use to sing to him. So yes, to truly appreciate this attraction you do need to negotiate quite a few steps. Also on site are several other ruins that highlight where the past 4 harbours of Miletus were. Incredibly to imagine this ancient city was once coastal and is now 5 miles inland. The ingenious construction of the Baths of Faustina can be found here as well.

I didn’t have enough time to visit this park per se, but took a boat trip which sailEd along the coast of this national park , docking at 3 points or rather 3 coves that are not accessible by car . The hills were beautiful , seeing the trees looking lush along the slopes is really quite something. The coves we docked at ( crudely speaking ) enabled the tourist to jump into the crystal clear water and it was absolutely stunning , the view , the experience and the water !! The beaches at the coves we docked on were stone beaches , they weren’t sandy. But still a really good experience and I recommend you give it a try whether it be by boat or via going into the national park itself for the whole day.
