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 was used 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 centuries ago.
Once the tour has finished visit Turkish Handcraft Production and shopping Center .You will return to port of Izmir..
