Aizanoi Ancient City, Zeus Temple. May Be Turkey’s Most Underrated Ancient City.

1. Well it’s not good for Turkish PR to have ancient Greek stuff be their most interesting sites. So be quiet 🤐.

2. But how old is it compared to the US? /s

3. I’ve been there and while it is quite nice, the surrounding area hasn’t been properly unearthed at all and the temple is rather small. It’s just what’s in the picture + iirc the cistern like thing underneath.

   I’d say it’s also in the middle of nowhere so might be rough for foreigners to get there.

   Perge is the most underrated ancient city in Turkey imo. It’s either that or something like the Temple of Apollo in Didim.

4. I think Ephesus near Kuşadasi is more impressive personally.

5. When will Turkey give Greece their Marbles back?
