Apollon, Miletos, Priene from Didim
🏛️ This Full-Day Private Tour Will Leave You Feeling Enchanted by Ancient History
A full-day tour through Didim, Miletus, and Priene will leave you feeling enchanted by ancient history, physically active, and in awe of Hellenistic grandeur. This combination of three distinct Ionian cities offers a deep dive into the roots of Western philosophy, urban planning, and religion.
The ancient city of Apollo is not a city, but a temple dedicated to Apollo. It is one of the largest temples of the ancient Greek period and is connected to Miletus by a 19 km sacred road.
Standing before the massive columns of the Temple of Apollo in Didyma (Didim) creates a profound sense of awe.
Priene was an ancient port city. However, it is at the foot of Mount Mykale and16 km from the sea. There are many works of art and architecture from the ancient Greek period. Alexander the Great lived in this city for a while. The ancient theatre in Priene is one of the most beautiful examples of the ancient Greek period. The Temple of Athena Polias was built by Alexander the Great as a gift to the city.
Be and feel like an Explorer. Exploring the "hidden," uncrowded ruins of Priene and Miletus will make you feel as though you have discovered a well-kept secret of the ancient world when you visit in the early or late season.
After the visit to Priene, we move to the
ancient city of
Miletus, which was once one of the largest cities in Anatolia. Immerse yourself in History. By walking through the 15,000-seat theatre of Miletus, which served as a hub for ancient philosophy, creates a vivid, tangible connection to the past. Miletus was a very rich city because it was located on trade routes and had many colonies. It was also was famous for its philosophers and architects. Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Hippodamus and Isidore are a few examples. Miletus is also famous for Faustina Baths.
