In our three weeks in Turkey we visited many archaeological sites and ruins - but Aphrodisias by far was the our favorite. It is the largest and best preserved archaeological site in Turkey. It's best to rent a car and visit Aphrodisias on your own. IAphrodisias about 50 miles west of Pamukkale and entrance to the site is by tram (located across the road). The site in my opinion rivals Ephesus, sans the crowds. The site's museum is not to be missed, it houses many impressive marble statues (see photo). If you look closely at the photo you can see two people standing at the end of the room (emphasis on the scale). Aphrodisias was an important center in the ancient world for skilled artisans and sculptors. The area was also an important source of marble. The temple of Aphrodite, the well preserved stadium, the Bouleterion, Agora and the theatre are impressive. You are able to walk completely around the top rows of the stadium which could seat 30,000. The site is not very well marked so make sure that you have a map and its a good idea to get the audio tour.

Aphrodisias is wonderful. Unlike many other major sites in the area (Ephesus notoriously comes to mind), this remote site (about two hours from Pamukale) does not attract too many tourists, so the visitor can walk around relatively undisturbed.There is a lot to see in this place. The enormous stadium stands proudly at the edge of town. There is a temple and the tetrapylon and the Odeon and the Sebasteion and agora and a theatre and endless sarcophagi scattered around the site and lovely statues from all over the place are now on display in the tiny museum.It is one of the loveliest archaeological sites one can visit.

This came as a real surprise, as it has mostly been excavated since I was studying Ancient Greek archaeology. It is a beautiful site with interesting and charming buildings and a well laid out museum. Don't miss it.

This is one of the most outstanding sites we saw in Turkey. It is not as convenient for cruise ship passengers as, say, Ephesus, but if you can manage it I absolutely recommend driving out. My thoughts and recommendations: - Plan for at least four hours. There are restaurants outside of the site and a cafe inside as well so you can use your stop to enjoy a meal. - If you can, pack a picnic and sit in the amphitheater to marvel in the amazing view and the serenity of this less crowded space.- The amphitheater was certainly the highlight for us - we could have enjoyed that view for hours! But other amazing structures also are unique - the stadium, the Temple of Aphrodite, etc.- It IS a work in progress as other reviewers have said but IMHO that enhances the charm of the place. Kids will see real archaeologists at work, and I rather think hard packed earth paths are more appropriate than carefully manicured sidewalks anyway- Their museum collection reminded me of the Getty in Los Angeles. It is not as extensive, but the statues are well displayed and interpreted, and it is worth your time. My only complaint is there was no where to sit inside, which would have been nice to enjoy and contemplate the sculptures on display.- The site has a lot of flat walkways and is far from a mountain hike that is Priene. - If you are driving yourself, you have to park in the lot outside the entrance and then take one of the frequent shuttles into the site itself.- Restroom facilities in the site were sub-par. They had some western toilets, some squat, but were universally dirty, out of toilet paper, etc. Definite room for improvement there, and an astonishing contrast to how modern and impressive the museum was.

Very interesting site as it was used for medical assessments and purposes Some parts almost complete such as the tunnel assessment !.

An interesting site. The stadium is huge and well preserved. A little bit disappointed that some of the rubble and flora has not been cleared as has been done in Kibyra. However, the site is worth the visit.

These are truly amazing..and yet when I entered the Museum it looked so small yet held amazing sculptures..so don't miss the Museum.

This is quite a compact site not as extentensively excavated as Ephesus. It has some large scale attractions - the stadium is vast and because it is so well preserved it is very easy to imagine what it would be like as one of 30,000 spectators. The Hadrian Baths complex is equally on a grand scale. The Roman ode ion which was originally the Greek council chamber is also very well preserved. I thought the Sebasteion was quite unusual - I can't remember seeing this at any other Roman cities. The sculptures of the dignitaries who were honoured as gods are remarkable. The museum is a highlight of the site. Aphrodisiacs was a school of sculpture and the museum houses a vast number of very beautiful and well preserved examples of the artistry of the school. The temple of Aphrodisia must have been beautiful in its time.

We spent 3 hours here and this is ample time to explore all that the site has to offer. We enjoyed seeing the stadium, its size is impressive. After seeing Hierapolis the day before and Kaunos the week prior, we might have been a little site weary and whilst glad we went, I don't think Aphrodisias is as impressive as these two other places. That said, the site is work in progress and if you are a history/archaeology fan then I'm sure you will thoroughly enjoy it here.
