Travelling: The Ancient City of Aphrodisias (Turkey).

  Almost 10 days ago we visited Turkey for our Summer holidays. We made some rounds, saw some very good places, but the best thing we saw, was without a doubt the ancient city of Aphrodisias.
  The people who are visiting the coast of Turkey, usually go to Ephesus, which is the most famous city in the coastline. But if you decide to go a little bit more inside the country and visit the famous Pamukkale, don't even think of not visiting Aphrodisias, which is rather near. Aphrodisias in not as famous as Ephesus, but is one of the finest archaeological sites of Turkey, still partly excavated and partly undiscovered. 
  The name of the city is derived from the goddess of love, Aphrodite - called Venus by the Romans, who has her famous sanctuary here. It is about 3 hours drive from Ephesus and almost 1 hour drive from Pamukkale.
  The city has a long story, but it became known and big during the Roman times, so, most of the things you will see in there has been built by the Romans.
  It occupies a large area, and it includes some well-preserved and stunning buildings, such as The Stadium, The Theater, the Temple of Aphroditi, The Governor's House, The Sebasteion, and many more.
  The entrance fee is cheap, and with your ticket you can also visit the wonderful museum, which is near the entrance. (But it's better to leave it for the end).
  But have in mind that you will probably need 2-3 hours for a quick visit. We stayed there for almost 4 hours, and from a point an on we were tired, and we couldn't pay too much attention to some things as we should have.
 You can have a small idea by looking at the pictures on the right, or by making a search on the internet.
