Description

PRIENE MILETUS DIDYMA TOUR

Departure: Everyday

Duration: 07:30 – 18:30

Pick up: Izmir Central Hotels & Izmir (ADB) Airport

Meal: Lunch

Meeting with your guide at hotel and drive to Priene. Set dramatically at the foot of a sheer mountain wall, Priene overlooks the aptly named Meander River. This 2500 years old Ionian city was among the first to be planned with a grid system of streets.

The next stop will be Miletos, an ancient city located near Akköy 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. After having lunch, you will visit Didyma which means “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 Miletos by Milesians with a 19 km/12 mi sacred road.
