Duration        : 7 hours

Tour Type      : Private tour

Upon arrival at Bodrum Port, your private guide will be waiting for you with a personalized sign. You'll then embark on a 1. 30 h s drive into the Turkish countryside ( to Didyma) The name "Didyma" means "twins," and according to legend, it was where Zeus and Leto met to give birth to their twins, Apollo and Artemis. In ancient times, Didyma was a renowned prophecy center dedicated to Apollo, and was similar in importance to the oracle at Delphi in Greece. Although it was not a city, it was connected to Miletus by a sacred road that stretched 12 miles. Today, the impressive standing columns at the site are sure to awe even the most well-traveled visitors

Next, you'll explore Miletus, an ancient city that once stood at the mouth of the Meander River near the present-day Akkoy. It was a highly prosperous city that founded many colonies and was one of the largest cities in Anatolia. Miletus was also the home of renowned philosophers such as Anaximander, Anaximenes, and Thales, as well as the town planner Hippodamus and architect Isidorus. Its prominent position on trade routes made it the most important port in the area and the most active member of the twelve cities of the Ionian Confederation. Throughout its history, Miletus was controlled by various powers, including Persians, Romans, and Seljuk Turks.

Your last visit will be Priene, a former harbor city that was once a bustling hub of trade and commerce until silt from the Meander River filled in its bay and cut off its livelihood. Today, the site sits nearly 10 miles away from the sea, but retains its glory through its stunning examples of Hellenistic art and architecture. The city was laid out on a grid plan system, with all streets at right angles to one another. You'll be awed by the spectacular cliff of Mount Mycale, which looms over the site and adds to the ambiance of the ancient city. At the end of this captivating tour, you'll return to the Bodrum cruise pier.
