✨ What to Expect

Didyma, home to the famous Temple of Apollo, was second only to Delphi in importance in the ancient world. This sacred sanctuary attracted thousands of pilgrims seeking guidance from the Oracle of Apollo. Despite damage caused by an earthquake in 1493, the impressive columns and detailed carvings still stand today, offering visitors a powerful glimpse into the past.

After exploring the temple, enjoy a short drive to Mavişehir, a beautiful coastal area known for its beaches, vibrant night market, and spectacular sunsets.
