If one were to claim that the most
scenic vistas in Anatolia can be
found on the coasts of the Aegean,
he could not be accused of
exaggerating. In the words of
Heredotus, the Aegean coasts "have
the most beautiful sky and the
best climate in the world." The
bays and peninsulas, coves and
golden beaches stretch the length
of these beautiful shores. In this
region where the countless events
of mythology took place, you will
encounter thetheaters, temples and
agoras of ancient
cities at almost every turn.The city
of Troy immortalized by Homer and
Pergamum, the art and cultural center
and capital cityof one of the most
powerful kingdoms of the day, are both
located on Aegean soil. The provinces
located in the Aegean region are
Afyon, Aydin, Denizli, Izmir, Kütahya,
Manisa, Mugla and Usak. Situated in
Edremit Bay, at the meeting point of
beautiful sea, the health-giving
springs of Akcay and a pine forest,
the scenic Ayvalik has been called the
"Olive-grove Riviera." As you leave
the shores of the bay and head south
past a countless number of splendid
holiday resort areas, you come to Foca,
famous for the heroic Turkish sailors
based here. If you want to see Sardis,
the capital of the wealthy Lydian king,
Croesus, you will have to detour
inland a bit.
Located on the bay of the same
name, Izmir is a modern city
brimming with life. It is also a
bustling commercial center and
shopping in its busy markets is
sure to be a pleasurable
experience. The peninsula of Cesme
with its brilliant waters, superb
beaches and thermal springs lies
to the west of Izmir.
Among the most famous cities of
the ancient world, Ephesus was one
of the biggest cities of the Roman
era. A treasury of all the riches
of Ionian culture, Ephesus had a
reputation for philosophy and
critical thinking. The Temple of
Artemis, one of the seven wonders
of the ancient world, as well as
countless statues, theaters,
libraries, markets and smaller
temples were all architectural
symbols of the city's fame.Further
to the southyou will see the
ancient
city of Priene, built according to a
geometric plan designed by the great
architect of Milet, Hippodamos. Milet
was a great center of commerce and
thought in the ancient world and
important developments, scientific and
otherwise, took place here. The nearby
Didim, though not one of the ancient
cities, is still famous for its
magnificent temple dedicated to Apollo.
On the Izmir-Antalya road, Aphrodisias
(Geyre) was an important cultural and
art center famous for its training in
sculpture. On the same road is found
the world-famous Pamakkale. Passing
this way without stopping and taking a
look is unthinkable. The plentiful
calcium-rich thermal waters flowing
out of the mountain have, over time,
created an extraordinary masterpiece.
Here one may bath in the health-giving
waters while gazing at this natural
phenomenon, which is unparalleled
inworld geography. The ruins of the
ancient city of
Hierapolis lie behind this calcium
terraced mountain. When it comes to
holidayiresortsithe first places that
come to mind in the southern part of
the Aegean region are Bodrum,
Marmaris, Datca, Koycegiz and Fethiye.
Bodrum (ancient Halikarnas) is the
birthplace of the great historian
Heredotus. The mausoleum of King
Mausolos was considered one of the
seven wonders of the ancient world.
Marmaris, with its modern marina
surrounded by its lush mountains
and hills, is an alluring vacation
getaway with clean crystal clear
waters. Nearby is Datca adorned
with flowers and a little further
on Koycegiz with its pristine
highlands, then it is the Lycian
Graves, the Dead Sea (Olu Deniz)
and Fethiye. Marmaris is an
absolute paradise of endless sand
and eternal blue sea.
