Heir to Anatolia's rich historical heritage and natural beauty, Aydın was
conquered by the Trallians who founded the city of Tralles here on top of the
old city. Known by such descriptive terms as 'Flowered' and 'Mighty', when the
city was leveled by an earthquake, the emperor Andronik rebuilt the city and
named it Andropolis after himself. After passing into the hands of the Selçuks,
the city was called Aydın Güzelhisarı. During the Ottoman empire it was called "Nefs-i
Güzel Hisar der Liva-i Aydın."
Districts
Aydın's district are ;Bozdoğan, Buharkent, Çine, Germencik, İncirliova, Karacasu,
Karpuzlu, Koçarlı, Köşk, Kuşadası, Kuyucak, Nazilli, Söke, Sultanhisar,
Yenihisar and Yenipazar.
Bozdoğan: Founded on top of foothills of Madran Mountain, which rises up beside
plain fed by Akçay river south of the Büyük Menderes river basin. The remains of
historical structures found in this town 76 km from Aydın belong to ages long
past. One can see the marks of Roman, Byzantine and Selçuk culture as well. The
primary examples of this are the village of Neopolis Kavaklı near Koyuncular
village, Körteke Castle and the Cisterns and Aqueducts in the villages of Örtülü
and Konaklı.
Buharkent: Situated 86 km. from the city, the local economy is totally dependent
upon agriculture. The Kızıldere thermal springs are found here.
Çine: Located 38 km from Aydın, Çine is one of the oldest and most important
settlements of the area because it linked the ancient regions of Caria and
Ionia.
Gerga: Situated north of Ovacık village 6 km southeast of Eski Çine, the ruins
of Gerga, a Carian city which can only be reached by walking up the mountain,
are definitely worth seeing in spite of the effort required.
Didim: A neighbor of the ancient cities of Miletus and Priene, it is 108 km from
Aydın. With transportation from the Bodrum airport via Akbük, it has some of the
best sun, sand and sea in the Aegean region.
It has a rich history and is an important tourist vacation spot, among the best
on the Aegean coast. A prophetic oracle in ancient times, there is a large
temple dedicated to the sun god Apollon here. The ancients' belief in fate was
very powerful and they saw Apollon as a god of prophecy who would reveal their
fate.
Karacasu: The road to Karacasu passes through Kuyucak and winds through pine
trees and olive and citrus groves along the Dandalas Creek. Karacasu was founded
on the slopes of the Dandalas valley which leads into the Büyük Menderes valley
from the southeast. Located 87 km from Aydın, the climate and geography of the
area is quite different from that of the Menderes river basin. It is more like a
highland area. Handcrafts such as carpet-weaving, leatherworking and pottery are
quite developed and the area has potential in terms of forest products as well.
Karpuzlu: With the introduction of an irrigation system, this town whose economy
is based on agriculture is developing quite rapidly. Alinda is an ancient city
worth visiting. It is located on a nearby hill. Founded in 340 BC, the city
remains include a theater, stadium, stoa, agora and the city walls, all of which
are reasonably well-preserved.
Koçarlı: Twenty-two kilometers from Aydın, it is located in the middle of the
Büyük Menderes valley on either side of Koçarlı Creek. Most of the arable land
is on the Büyük Menderes plain. An old settlement, there is a castle (Amyzon
Castle) near the village of Akmescit.
Kuşadası
Kuyucak: Located on the lower slopes of the Aydın Mountains facing the Menderes
valley, it is a typical Turkish settlement. The city of Antiocheia, on the banks
of Dandalas Creek, was founded by King Antiochus. This ancient city was a
resting point for the commercial caravans with their military escorts traveling
between Ephesus and Aphrodisias. The mosque found in the market is one of the
town's important historical structures.
Nazilli: It is 45 km from Aydın. The ancient city of Mastaura, founded between
the highland villages of Bozkurt and Eyeli 3 km from Nazilli, was, in its time,
one of the commercial centers in the Menderes river basin.
Söke: Located 59 km west of Aydın, it was founded on the banks of the Büyük
Menderes river. A wealthy city with agriculture, trade, tourism and capital, it
is located near the famous cities of Didyma, Miletus and Priene. The ancient
city of Priene, sits on a natural platform on the southern slope of Mykale
Mountain near the town of Güllübahçe 12 km from Söke.
Sultanhisar: Located 25 km from Aydın, it has a view of the Aydın mountains to
the north. Nisa (Nyssa) was founded on the slopes of Malgaç Mountain north of
Sultanhisar in a place of incredible natural beauty. There is a 3 km asphalt
road which leads to the ruins.
Akaraka (Acharake) can perhaps best be described as a health center which still
guards its sacred secrets. It is near the village of Salavatlı and according to
ancient records was the worship center of a cult devoted to the gods Pluton and
Charo (Kore).
Yenipazar: It is 41 km from Aydın. The ancient city of Orthasia (Ortosi) is 5 km
to the east in the village of Donduran. It was founded in by the Ionians, but
was invaded by the Cimmerian horsemen from the steppes of Asia in the 7th
century BC. Later it came under the rule of Lydia, Persia, Rome and the
Byzantines.

Where to Visit
ANCIENT CITIES
Nyssa The source of what we know about this Nyssa (Nisa), founded on the slopes
of Mount Malgaç north of Sultanhisar in what is now olive groves, is the
geographer Strabo. Made up of two parts due to the fact that it was built on a
stream, the city was first called Athymbra after the wife of its founder, the
Selecuid king Antiochus I. The primary remains are the two-story library built
by Aristodem, a native of Nyssa, a water depot belonging to the Hellenistic era,
a stadium and bridge from the Roman era, the agora and the necropolis on the
Acharaka road.
Alabanda A Carian city whose name comes from a combination of the Carian words
for horse (ALA) and victory (BANDA). Remains that can still be seen include the
wall fortified with towers, the theater, the senato, the agora and memorial
graves. There is also a Roman aqueduct over Kemer Creek to the south. Alaband
was known in the ancient world for several crafts peculiar to the city,
including crystal, various decorative items made from a hard black stone,
fishing nets and rose gardening.
Priene An important episcopal see in the Byzantine era, the ancient city Priene
north of Miletus was given a very geometric design of intersecting right angles.
The most important structure in the city is the Temple of Athena on top of the
hill. In addition, northeast of the city is a 5000 person theater constructed in
the Hellenistic era which is definitely worth seeing.
Miletus Located north of Didim, Miletus was a coastal city with 4 ports and one
of the most important Ionian settlements. Its golden age was the 7th and 6th
centuries BC. During this period thinkers in Miletus were putting down what
would become the foundation of Western science and culture. The 5300 person
theater built in the Hellenistic era was later added on to by the Romans and had
a final seating capacity of 15,000.
Tralles (Tiral) Located only 1 km from Aydın, what we know about the city is
limited to what has come down to us from the geographer Strabo. Its first
appearance in the historical record is in the 4th century BC during the war of
independence waged by the Spartan general Thibron against the Persians. During
the Hellenistic era, the city changed hands frequently. In 26 BC, while a part
of the Roman Empire, it suffered some damage from an earthquake and was repaired
by the Emperor Augustus and renamed Caesarea. From the time that it passed into
the hands of the Turks in the 12th century until the present it has been called
"three-eyes" among the people. A few remains of the theater to the north and the
'cavea' are about all that remain. Excavations begun in 1997 have uncovered a
Roman bath, an arsenal used during the Greek, Roman and Byzantine eras and a
building thought to have been used for worship in the Byzantine period. All of
the items recovered from the site whether from older digs or the more recent
ones are on exhibit in the Aydın Museum.
Aphrodisias This city was one of the leading centers of architecture, art,
sculpture and worship in the ancient world. The Byzantine write Stephanos places
the foundation of the city back to the 13th century BC. This Carian city 12 km
southeast of Karacasu experienced its golden age in the Roman era, during which
time marble statue and structures of extraordinary beauty were built so much so
that a school of art known as the Aphrodisias style was developed.
Archeological research has shown that architecture and sculpture were not the
only types of study done in the city but that medicine and astronomy were
researched as well. The city's primary structures of interest are the baths
built during the reign of Hadrian, the agora with its large fountain, the Temple
of Aphrodite built in the 1st century BC, the 30,000 person theater, the theater
baths and odeon, the episcopal palace and the school of philosophy. The Museum
of Aphrodisias has one of the richest collections found in any local museum in
Turkey.
Panionium Located in the town of Davutlar near Kuşadası, it was the center of
the Ionian League of antiquity. The Ionians met here to make decisions.
Neopolis Right beside Kuşadası, at a place called Yılancı Burun (Snake Nose). It
is the earliest settlement in the area.
Didyma Near the town of Didim, it was the center of prophetic oracles in
antiquity. The Temple of Apollon in Didim was planned as a dipteros (having two
rows of columns) but was never finished.
Myus Near Didim, an important member of the Ionian League.
Iassos Situated near Didim, this ancient city was famous for its theater
dedicated to Dionysos, the god of wine, and the festivals held here. Its music
and theatrical productions were well-known throughout the ancient world.
Gerga It is located near Çine. The enormous human statues which have slid off
their pedestals and fallen to the ground and the stones which have "Gerga"
inscribed on them are particularly interesting.
Alında Located near Karpuzlu, it is the granite city of Queen Ada. Important
remains include a theater with 35 rows of seats, a two-story tower, the agora
and the city walls.
Mastaura (Mastavra) Close to Nazilli, it was used to be a commercial center
which minted money. In the ruins can be seen the city walls, the theater,
aqueducts and a few other structures.
Magnesia It is near Ortaklar in Germencik. Because it was the scene of several
important events, it is described as the 'city of episodes.' There are the
remains of temples to Artemis and Zeus from the 3rd century BC, an agora, baths,
a theater, stadium and gymnasium, as well as Byzantine walls.
Orthasia (Ortosi) Near Yenipazar, there is a acropolis on a hill overlooking the
Menderes valley.
Nyssa (Nisa) Near Sultanhisar, it was a science and teaching center. The remains
of the theater, stadium, gymnasium, agora, library, buluterion and necropolis
can still be seen.
Acharaka (Akaraka) In Sultanhisar near the village of Salavatlı, reference is
made to a health center here. The Temple of Plutonium and the 'health-giving'
water and gases in Charonium cave are also mentioned.

6000 in the 1970s, it is now closer to 50,000, although a high proportion of
this are part of the tourist industry and here only for the summer. Many
cruising ships travelling around the Aegean Islands stop here, especially
because of its close proximity (20km) to Selcuk. Kusadasi is a good base to
explore this and other ancient cities like Priene and Didyma.
Although there is little of historical interest in Kusadasi itself, the town is
popular predominantly because of its many hotels, restaurants, souvenir and
carpet shops, and lively nightlife. The Kale district has some old traditional
houses and narrow streets, and gives some indication of what the town used to be
like. The most famous beach is Kadinlar Plaji, 2.5km south of the town,
dominated by huge hotels and can get very crowded in summer. There are several
small beaches further south, and closer to town is Yilanci Burnu, the
peninsular.

Region.
Transportation: Bafa Lake is at the southeast of the Buyuk Menderes Delta, and
25 km from Soke from where it is easily accessible.
Highlights: The lake, once part of the Aegean Sea, became a lake as result of
geomorphologic development of Buyuk Menderes Delta and is in an area of
relatively unspoilt beauty. Its main sources are from Buyuk Menderes, and the
underground rivers flowing from the surrounding mountains.
Plant life consists of tamarisks, pine trees, and olive groves. The lake
protects the ecosystem of the delta, and therefore provides a winter habitat for
many species of birds which would otherwise be in danger of extinction: Around
300,000 birds nest here, including pelican, dwarf cormorant and sea eagle and
there are 700 kinds of plankton in the lake and a variety of water plants, which
encourages many species of fish.
