Aphrodisias Tour From Ankara by bus(Private)

Aphrodisias Tour From Ankara by bus (Private)

The hidden gem of Aphrodisias is a must-see for any traveler seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure. This remarkably well-preserved Greek/Roman city is gradually revealing more of its grandeur as several archeological excavations continue. Unlike other ancient cities, Aphrodisias is far from the usual tourist routes, making it a truly unique find for history enthusiasts.

The Sebastion is undoubtedly the most exciting spot on the site. Its uniqueness overshadows anything you might have seen in other ancient cities. As you wander through the ruins, you can almost hear the echoes of its glorious past. The Temple of Aphrodite, now reduced to a few standing columns, has had its other parts repurposed for the stadium, theater, and the expansive 170-meter-long swimming pool.

Walking along the main street, you will encounter the Tetrapylon, an iconic image of Aphrodisias that once led towards the Temple of Aphrodite. Imagine columns and buildings that stood three stories high, lining both sides of this ancient thoroughfare.

A visit to the on-site museum is also highly recommended. One of its standout rooms is approximately 50 meters long, featuring dozens of intricately carved sculptures and panels depicting captivating stories from Greek mythology. Accompanied by highly informative descriptions, these artifacts offer invaluable insight into the life and culture of the city.

Aphrodisias is not just a trip back in time, but an exhilarating experience that brings ancient history to life in a way many city ruins cannot. It's a captivating wonder waiting for those adventurous enough to explore it.

As you explore the various rooms and pools, you can almost feel the steam rising and hear the chatter of citizens relaxing and socializing. The Hadrianus Bath was more than just a place to cleanse; it was a social hub where politics, gossip, and business intertwined.

And let's not forget the Sebasteion Propyloni! This magnificent structure was part of a larger complex dedicated to the Roman emperors and Aphrodite herself. The Sebasteion Propyloni served as an impressive entranceway adorned with stunning reliefs that depicted various mythological scenes and imperial propaganda. Walking through this gateway, you can almost feel the divine presence that once graced this sacred space.
