Priene Ancient City
Athena Temple, Priene Ancient city guide Tugrul Sokmen with Bill T.
An important episcopal see in the Byzantine era, the ancient city Priene north of Miletus was given a very geometric design of intersecting right angles. The most important structure in the city is the Temple of Athena on top of the hill. In addition, northeast of the city is a 6500 person theater constructed in the Hellenistic era which is definitely worth seeing.
Miletus Ancient City
God Meandros, Miletus Museum
Located north of Didim, Miletus was a coastal city with 4 ports and one of the most important Ionian settlements. Its golden age was the 7th and 6th centuries BC. During this period thinkers in Miletus were putting down what would become the foundation of Western science and culture. The 5300 person theater built in the Hellenistic era was later added on to by the Romans and had a final seating capacity of 15,000.
Didyma Apollon Temple
Medusa Head from Temple of Apollo, Didyma
Near the town of Didim, it was the center of prophetic oracles in antiquity. The Temple of Apollon in Didim was planned as a dipteros (having two rows of columns) but was never finished.
