2025 Aydin Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip A trip to Aphrodisias, an ancient city where beauty and art live. Aphrodisias, quietly located in the southwest of Turkey, was a city dedicated to Aphrodite, the goddess of art and beauty, in ancient Roman times. As its name suggests, it is a place where art and architecture flourished, and its sculpture technology was said to be the best in the world at the time. ✨ The ruins include a magnificent stadium, temples, theaters, and a sculpture museum, all of which are well preserved, as if time had stopped. The columns of the Temple of Aphrodite and the museum lined with delicate sculptures are particularly impressive, making it a must-see spot for art lovers. This place is quiet, there are few tourists, and time flows slowly. If you visit as a couple, you will be surrounded by a romantic atmosphere, and even if you are traveling alone, you can spend a healing time that will calm your heart. It was a series of impressions and discoveries, such as "I can't believe such beautiful ruins are sleeping quietly..." 🚗Access The nearest cities are Denizli and Aydın. About an hour and a half by car from Denizli Airport. We recommend renting a car or taking a tour rather than using public transport.

#Overseas travel My visit to Magnesia in Maander was full of history and culture. This ancient city in Turkey is one of the most important archaeological sites. I enjoyed exploring the magnificent site, where I saw the remains of temples, theaters, and public squares dating back to the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The monumental architecture and ornate columns were a sign of past grandeur. There was an air of prestige that made me imagine the life that had filled this place for thousands of years.

#timetotravel Exploring the Ancient City of Magnesia ad Maeandrum in Turkey was like stepping back in time to a world of remarkable historical significance. Nestled amidst picturesque landscapes, this archaeological site is a hidden gem. Wandering through the well-preserved ruins, I marveled at the grandeur of the theater, which once hosted dramatic performances and seated thousands. The intricate details of the Temple of Artemis and the Agora offered glimpses into the daily life of the ancient city. What struck me most was the sense of serenity that pervades the site, with its quiet pathways and the Maeander River gently meandering nearby. It's a place where history and nature coexist in perfect harmony. Visiting Magnesia ad Maeandrum is not just an archaeological journey but a chance to reflect on the legacy of a bygone era. It's a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone seeking to connect with the ancient world in a tranquil setting. #aydin #efeler #turkiye

First time at Turkey and sure not the last time. We selected Kusadasi for our vacation place and we were right in every sense. It's a wonderful place to be in.Kusadasi is a mix of traditional and modern Turkey. During summer there are hundreds of thousands people in the city, majority of them are tourists from all over the world, so you can also see a mix of different cultures. Residents of Kusadasi are very friendly and pleasant. One of interesting things in Kusadasi is shopping. You can find everything to buy from leather jackets to watches(original fakes) at very low prices. Another plus is Kusadasi's location around which is a lot of historic sights like Ephesus, Pammukale and many other world known sights. Best location for hotel is in the city center not on many beaches around the city. Go there you won't regret :)
