Overview of your Kusadas tour:

Aphrodisias, a Unesco world heritage site, is a gorgeous ancient city dedicated to the goddess of love, Aphrodite (Venus for Romans). It is unquestionably worth seeing with its well-preserved buildings and numbers of magnificent sculptures from the Roman period. A pagan stronghold with its large, centrally located temple of Aphrodite, a famous sculpting center with its rich quarries of excellent white and blue-gray marble. This city discovered and introduced to the world by two Turks, is one of the largest archaeological sites of modern Turkey. One of these is the Turkish photographer Ara Güler who discovered the city after getting lost on return road from where he went for a shoot in 1958 and spending the night in the village of people living in the ruins of Aphrodisias. The second is Dr. Kenan Erim, an archaeologist from NY University who spent 30 years of his life on Aphrodisias. I do not only offer a tour but also promise you a pleasant day with a local guide passionate about archaeology secrets.

Your Kusadas tour itinerary

-It is such a lovely drive through the countryside from Kuşadasi Port or Hotel to the city of Aphrodisias (approximately 2. 5 hours). -After arriving at the parking lot, we take an extremely local but enjoyable tractor-shuttle to the entrance of the site. As this is a walking tour in a very big size of an archeological area, casual dress and comfortable shoes recommended. -We start our walk from the theater then visit the bath of Hadrian, Agora, Odeon, the temple of Aphrodite, and the best-preserved ancient stadium of Turkey. We are also going to have time to take marvelous pictures of each building while walking through. -We finish this lovely walk with the archeological museum that has unbelievably beautiful sculptures discovered recently. -After going back in our vehicle, we can start driving to where we get a chance to taste some local delicacies, one of the best restaurants in the region. -We drive back to Kuşadası (or hotel) at the end of this educational and enjoyable full-day tour.
