Aphrodisias

Overview

Introduction

The remarkable, ancient Roman city of Aphrodisias, 280 mi/450 km south of Ankara, was dedicated to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. Located near the village of Geyre, the ruins merit at least half a day of exploration. See the old walls, theater and stadium (it could hold more than 30,000 people), and be sure to visit the museum, which contains several interesting sculptures found at the site.
