afrodisias museum印象

During my three day stay in Pamukkale I booked a day trip to Afrodisias. The site is very well laid out and was not crowded which made a nice change from other crowded turkish sites. The highlight for me was the impressive 270 metre stadium. it would have been great to witness events in this stadium including gladiator combats in its heyday. The sites remoteness makes it a great visit as it was very quiet and there was no need to rush around and take quick photos without a bunch of pesky bus tours getting in your way

Aphrodisias archaeological site and museum is located in Geyre, near Karacasu village. It is not as well-known as for example Ephesus, but even more interesting. The place is not full of tourists, you can easily walk around and contemplate the views in peace. The site is huge, it takes hours to walk it all around. A big part of the site is still unexcavated. The statues, columns and other items are well preserved or quite well reconstructed. There are a lot of beautiful architectural structures and buildings: reconstructed tetrapylon - a monumental gateway, a temple of Aphrodite, Odeon (council house), the Sebasteion, Bath, the Stadium. There are also numerous parts of columns, inscriptions, reliefs. Also a museum with statues and other findings is very interesting. The site is surrounded with mountains, the view is wonderful! I strongly recommend visiting the museum! It is worth it!

Since it has been discovered just few decades ago Afrodisias is an unique, rich and quite place for exploring ancient Roman culture. It's settled on the old village called Geyre. After it has been explored local village people had to immigrate to another place. In museum Beautiful sculptures are prominent and stunning. In area, you can visit huge stadium which used to be a host for olympic games and horse racing. However visiting Afrodisias is not easy. You may look at daily tours from İzmir or Aydın. You may take local buses departures from Karacasu. But i'd definitely recommend you to rent a car and explore it with your own schedule. It Costs 15 Turkish Liras for adults.

This place is nearly 100 km from Pamukkale and can be easily coupled with same day tour if you arrive Denizli by morning flight from Istanbul. Take a car at 0900 hrs and come back by 1500 hrs after seeing this historical place. You will be dropped at a place from where arrangement is made free of cost to take you to the gate of this place where you can enter after buying ticket. A must visit place for people who like art in stone and have affection for historical footprints

all the finds are from the adjacent site and they are fabulous. Museum is air-conditioned, well labelled and thoroughly modern. REALLY worth the detour.

Without crowds as in Ephesus. Aphrodisias provides a much more relaxing and quiet environment to experience an ancient city.In addition to the common sites of a theatre, bouleuterion, agoras, baths, and churches, there is a large stadium. The walking path leads to the top of the stadium, providing an impressive view of the entire structure. Many columns at the Temple of Aphrodite are still standing tall, showing the size of the temple. The Tetrapylon is the place where most people take pictures, particularly with the green grass.Statues and more valuable pieces were removed from the actual site and are presented in the museum. The museum is included in the admission fee. Backpacks are to be left on the floor inside after the entrance of the museum, and a guard watches them.If planning for a visit over meal time, bring packed lunch is necessary since the cafe serves only drinks and is located near the entrance, far from the actual sites. There is also an eatery next to the carpark.The drive from Denizli to Aphrodisias on D-585 and D-300 via Tavas is fairly straightforward. Cars should be parked at the carpark (otopark) on the right of the intersection (when coming from the south). That is, don't follow the actual sign the museum as that the road is closed to traffic. There is a free shuttle from the carpark to the museum. Parking is 7 TL for cars.

Great stadium and amphitheater. No crowds, so easy to get nice photos taken. Definitely worth the detour on your way to Pamukkale/Ephesus.

This arcaelogical site is easy to find and close to the main road. For unknown reasons parking is 500 m away and you must pay 7 YTL for the carparking including transport in a special cab. Entry is cheap (5 YTL) and surprisingly few tourist visit the site. The antique town is very big - properly more than 1 x 1 km. The ruins are well excavated, and even big constructions like the Stadion are very good preserved. The most valuable artefacts are on display in a big museum (closed Mondays). All items are well explained in Turkish and English. Photos without flash and tripod are permitted. This site is only next to Ephesus and Hierapolis (with Pamukkale) if you are interested in antique Roman sites.

Afrodisias Museum is a fantastic place for anyone who has even the least bit of interest in the antique world - and for us who can dwell in antique times forever it's a goldmine! Don't miss it!

Aphrodisias or Afrodisias (Turkish), an ancient site dedicated to Aphrodite, is as impressive as Ephesus in my book. There are well-preserved buildings and numbers of magnificent sculptures and sarcophagi dotting the entrance. There is a marble quarry nearby, hence Aphrodisias became a center for sculptures and sculptors in Anatolia. Visit the museum where thousands of objects and sculptures are on display. See the head of Aphrodite and understand why she is the goddess of love and beauty. Make sure to walk the length of the 30,000 capacity of the staduim. My favorite is contemplating the beauty of the Temple of Tetrapylon. Turkish archaeologist Kenan Erim who devoted his life to the excavations in Aphrodisias was buried next to the Tetrapylon. You can stay for hours as there are so many things to see and absorb.
