Stratonikeia Ancient City

Reviewed By ElkeW587 - Istanbul, Turkey

It may not be loudly advertised when you drive down the highway, but make sure you turn off and take a wander through Stratonikeia. From the carpark you walk straight into a wonder world, a teahouse to the left, a mosque to the right, and down an ancient cobbled road. There are some opportunities to buy village-made things and have something to eat. I was lucky enough to see Tarhana soup drying in the sun and taste some too. There is an excellent exhibition on the history of the place. The village itself invites to wander around dreamily. The mix of Ottoman history and old Roman leftovers are outstanding. Pick some pomegranates off the trees and imagine what life was like here only a few decades ago! It's hard to believe that there is no entry fee. I would pay money to see this. Absolutely brilliant place!
