Ancient cities and archaeological sites
Aphrodisias Ancient City
Monumental architecture and marble craftsmanship near Geyre in Karacasu.
A closer look
Marble shapes the character of Aphrodisias. The sanctuary of Aphrodite and the columns of the Tetrapylon bring fine workmanship into a monumental setting. The stadium and theatre shift the focus from sacred space to public gatherings and performance.
Treat this extensive site near Geyre as a substantial walk, rather than a brief stop at one monument. Start with the site plan and divide your visit into sections. If you also intend to visit the museum, check its admission arrangements separately.
