You
will be met by your guide at the
Port of Kusadasi where you
will begin your Private Tour. First
we will visit Miletos,
an ancient city located near the
present Akkoy at the mouth of
the Buyuk Menderes (Meander) River.
Miletus owed its importance to its
position on the trade routes. It was
one of the largest cities in
Anatolia with a population of
between 80.000 and 100.000. Highly
prosperous, it founded many colonies
and was the home of the 6C BC
philosophers Anaximander, Anaximenes
and Thales, the town planner
Hippodamus and architect Isidorus.
Having a prominent position, Miletus
became the most important port in
this area and it was the most active
member of the twelve cities of the
Ionian Confederation. In the 7th
century BC Lydians besieged the
city. The city was then controlled
in turn by the Persians, Roman and
Seljuk Turks. The next visit after
Miletus will be Didyma.
The world Didyma meant "twins" and
it was associated by some as being
the meeting place of Zeus and Leto
to have their twins Apollo and
Artemis. Didyma was famed as a
prophecy center dedicated to Apollo,
which served a similar purpose as
the Delphi of Anatolia. It was not a
city but a sanctuary linked to
Miletus by Milesians with a 19 km/12
mi sacred road. – Lunch
Break - After lunch
break we will drive the
Temple of Artemis, one of
the seven wonders of the ancient
world where your guide will explain
to you the significance of this
important site. Following this we
will make our way to Ephesus
which was one of the most
important cultural centers of the
ancient word. We will visit the
Ephesus ruins, Odeon, Celcus
Library and the Theatre
which is still
in use today for concerts and has an
amazing capacity of 25,000.
As we walk through this
ancient site you will notice the
streets paved with marble which
gives a hint to this city's great
wealth many years ago. Once the tour
has finished visit Turkish
Handycraft Production Center and
shopping facilities and you will be
returned to the Port of Kusadasi. |
