  • 5/5 Meander T. 6 years ago on Google
    As one of the most important site of the region of Caria, the history of Iasos dates back to 3000BC. Once situated on an island, the city is now joined to the mainland, creating a peninsula. The people of Iasos were mostly getting their earns from fishing, which is also exactly the same, today. Apollo and Artemis were the protecting god & goddess of Iasos. Bathing of the boys in the sea after the tiring training in gymnasium was a tradition in Iasos. Interestingly, while they were bathing, a dolphin was continuously taking one boy to the far and bringing him back later to the shore. Then, Alexander the Great took the boy for making him the priest Poseidon in Babil. Consequently, the boy on a dolphin was represented on the coins of 3rd century BC, due to its great influence on the people of Iasos. Apart from the well-preserved agora, bouleterion, theatre and The Temple of Artemision Astias (dedicated to the Goddess Artemis), "Fish Market" - a funerary monument in the form of a Corinth temple, is the most impressive construction dating from the Roman period. It is located inside the courtyard and consisted of four columns on the forth side. "Fish Market" was restored to be used as an open air museum in 1995. The excavations in Iasos started by an Italian team in the head of Prof. Dr. Doro Levi in 1960, and continued by Dr. Fede Berti until today.

    (Translated by Google) First of all, it should be noted that; It is an ancient city left idle, unattended but spread over a wide area. Archaeological excavations need to be done as soon as possible. You can witness that the historical olive trees are harvested in the historical city. You can see the ancient city developments, which spread over a very wide area despite all its neglect, with the view of Kıyıkışlacık. (Original) Öncelikle belirtmek gerekir ki; atıl halde bırakılmış, ilgilenilmemiş ama oldukça geniş bir alana yayılmış, bir antik kent. Bir an önce arkeolojik kazı çalışmalarının yapılması gerekiyor. Tarihi kentin içinde tarihi zeytin ağaçlarının hasadının yapıldığına tanıklık edebilirsiniz. Tüm bakımsızlığına rağmen çok geniş bir alana yayılmış olan antik kent kalkntılarını Kıyıkışlacık manzarası eşliğinde görebilirsiniz.

    (Translated by Google) It is an ancient city that has been neglected compared to its counterparts and contemporaries. The city, which stretches along the Kıyıkışlacık coast, could not escape from the ruined atmosphere despite the magnificence of the view. There are not even officers on duty at the box office. Locals are used to using the ancient city as an ordinary route, they pass by carelessly. Inside the ancient city is full of cattle droppings, tangerine and orange peels, and alcohol bottles. Has the Ministry of Tourism not assigned anyone to whom he pays a regular salary? If such an assignment is in question, why do these people not fulfill their duties? There was neither an archaeological officer, a guard / security nor any other officer in sight. The city and its important structures seem to have been abandoned to its fate. However, Iasos is a very big and important city. (Original) Muadil ve çağdaşlarına kıyasla oldukça bakımsız bırakılmış bir antik kent. Kıyıkışlacık sahili boyunca uzanan şehir, manzaranın tüm görkemine rağmen virane havasından kurtulamamış. Gişesinde görevli memurlar bile bulunmuyor. Yerel halk antik kenti sıradan bir güzergah gibi kullanmaya alışmış, umursamazca geçiyorlar. Antik kentin içi büyükbaş hayvan pislikleri, mandalina ve portakal kabukları, alkol şişeleri ile dolu. Turizm bakanlığı buraya düzenli maaş ödediği kimseyi görevlendirmemiş midir? Eğer böyle bir görevlendirme söz konusu ise bu kişiler neden görevlerini yerine getirmemektedir? Ortalıkta ne bir örenyeri görevlisi, ne bir bekçi/güvenlik ne de başka bir memur vardı. Kent ve içindeki önemli yapılar kaderine terk edilmiş gibi duruyor. Oysa ki Iasos oldukça büyük ve önemli bir kent.

    Iassos is an intriguing place, a bit remote, next to a small village. Agora is well preserved with a near fully intact bouleuterion, and hope to see more of the city, there is a huge theater as well but it isn't fully excavated, couldn't access the acropolis area either.

    A gem if you look closely. Otherwise mostly a goat run on jumbled old stones. But incredible parts from 431bc though Byzantium reinforcement and on. Archeological dig in progress

    Visited ancient city of Iassos as a part of boat trip. We've spent good 2 hours viewing ruins and walking around little village. Would be more enjoyable if local council would tidy up landmark and surroundings, as well as setting up a little souvenir shop which sells guide books and refreshments.

    (Translated by Google) The ancient city is perfect, providing integrity with the sea and the road. Of structures. Some of it is demolished and the surviving ones are neglected and, as always, garbage. Our cultural assets are plundered. It is necessary to protect and promote such beautiful heritage. (Original) Antik kent mükemmel, deniz ve karayolu ile bütünlük sağlıyor. Yapıların. Bir kısmı yıkılmış, ayakta kalanlar ise bakımsız ve her zaman ki gibi çöplük. Kültür varlıklarımız talan içinde.

    Iasos Muğla. According to mythology, it is said to have been founded by those who came from Argos and took its name from Iass, the head of the colonists. B.C. There is no information about Iasos in ancient sources until the 5th century. While the area where the city was founded was an island at first, the isthmus where the island meets the sea was filled and the island turned into a peninsula. Important structures of the ancient city are located on this peninsula. The big city wall, aqueducts, tombs and the structure called the fish market are located outside the city wall. During the excavations in Iasos, it was determined that the oldest settlement in the city dates back to the end of the 3rd millennium B.C.

    My family and I went to this ancient city called Iasos(iasos) where is in the village Kıyıkışlacık. Since I haven't heard about that ancient city before I was expecting to see a little one. But it was such a big ancient city probably due to being a port city. We can see one side of the gate of port and unfortunately other side is destroyed. Since it was a big city, we had to travel to other parts of the city by car. Since before now I've visited a lot of ancient cities, I would advice there to visit. The mosaics and the view are another reason to visit that place. It also offers a wide trekking route.

    A hidden gem, these ruins. Read the book I am Pilgrim, and these ruins are the scene for the end drama. Guided tours are hard to come by, but it is worth visiting all the same.

    While I was visiting there was a new excavation taking place. It was nice seeing the archaeologists at work. The site itself was breathtaking. I suggest exploring the ancient city ruins and watch the sunset while walking through the ruins. I highly recommend stopping by at one of the seafood restaurants right across the ruins. The fish was very fresh and delicious. An incredible experience all around.

    Amazing ancient town. We spent a good couple of hours wandering around. There was more up the hill but it was 35 degrees when we went to needless to say we didn't venture up that far! It's free to enter, the entrance is in the car park on the edge of the town. There are several restaurants nearby.

    (Translated by Google) If you are the average traveler, you will walk around the sterile area at the entrance. But if those who are more adventurous continue on their way and cross the slate walls built by the villagers to separate-protect their herds of cows and, I think, the olive groves and orchards, they will encounter the history hidden among the magnificent scenery and natural vegetation on the hill. There are many buildings, large and small, spread all over the peninsula. I suggest you see the neglected parts before the cows eat them, as they will gradually disappear. Fortunately, the port project was rejected by municipal votes. But it might be approved one night in an unexpected way. (Original) Ortalama gezgin iseniz giriş kısımdaki steril alanı dolaşıp çıkarsınız. Ama daha maceracı olanlar yola devam edip minnak inek sürülerini ve sanırım köylülerin zeytinlikleri ve bostanlarını ayırmak-korumak amacıyla yaptıkları kayrak duvarları aşarsa tepedeki muhteş manzara ve doğal bitki örtüsü arasında gizlenmiş tarihe rastlayacaklar. Yarımadanın tamamına yayılmış irili ufaklı bir çok yapı var. Bakımsız kalmış kısımları inekler yemeden görmenizi öneririm, yavaş yavaş yok olacak gibi. Neyseki liman projesi belediye oyları ile reddedilmiş. Ama belli de olmaz bir gece ansızın onaylanadabilir.
