The most important structure in the city is the Temple of Athena on top of the hill with its five columns. In addition, northeast of the city is a 7000 person seating capacity theater constructed in the Hellenistic era which is definitely worth to see.

Then after drive to; Miletos Ancient City Located north of Didim, Miletos was a coastal city with 4 ports and one of the most important Ionian settlements. Its golden age was the 7th and 6th centuries BC. During this period philosophers in Miletos were putting down what would become the foundation of Western science and culture. The 5300 person theater built in the Hellenistic era was later enlarged to by the Romans and had a final seating capacity of 15,000. Faustina bath complex is really worth to see as well.

Next stop is to visit the Didyma Apollon Temple. It was the center of prophetic oracles behind ranking Apollon Temple at Delphoi in antiquity. The Temple of Apollon in Didim was planned as a dipteros (having two rows of columns) but was never completely finished.
