    Hidden gem in between villages. Tripolis provides guests with a lot to look at. Thanks to the, still ongoing, reconstructions. Walk through the old streets, have a look into the remote church and even make a little break at the elevation with an astonishing panorama-view. If you're near Denizli/Aydın then plan a day-vacation! Besides, entree is free and you'll even be escorted by a companion. The cute dog will follow you and is more than happy to get some pets on his head.

    It is situated about 40 km north of Denizli, east of Buldan and Yenicekent Towns, at the foot of a hill which is between Buyuk Menderes River and Yenicekent Town. Tripolis was one of the frontier centers of commerce and agriculture in the Lydia Region which supplied transportation between Karia, Phrygia, and Tripolis. It was one of the richest cities in the region because of its strategic location. It is believed to have been founded by citizens of Pergamum. The best extant monuments date from the 1st - 3rd centuries A.D. According to Plinius, another name of the city was Apollonia. There are names of the goddess Leto, Letoia Phthia Games and the Menderes River on their coins. The city suffered many earthquakes and wars throughout history. Tripolis is mentioned in the list of participants at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. This shows Tripolis was an important religious city during that period

    Tripolis are one of the border, trade and agriculture centres providing transportation to Karya and Phrygia regions in Lidia region. Its establishment type and city understanding makes it one of the richest cities of the region. Tripoli is estimated to be established in the Lidian Period. There is no historical information relating to the Lidian, Persian and Hellenistic Periods, yet. No ruins from these periods were encountered, either. The ruins of the city have theRoman and Byzantine Period character in terms of style. Best samples of the monumental buildings are constructed in the1st, 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. In accordance with Pliny, another name of the city is Apolloia. The names of goddess Leto, the Letoia Phthia games and the Menderes River exist on the coins. Tripolis and its surroundings has been the scene for many earthquakes and wars in the history. The name of Tripolis, being called in the list of Lidian Bishops list show that it was a city in bishopric level.

    Wow. What a find this was. Off the beaten track for sure, but we'll worth a 30 min stop on your route. Information boards in English and Turkish. Imagine it would be spectacular at night too. Free parking. No shade. A little uneven under foot (push chairs would struggle).

    They don’t have the funding so it’s still not fully recovered. No tickets needed

    An interesting site! Excavations continue on though there is very much work ahead. The Agora and the aqueduct are quite impressive! Well worth the time.

👍👍 Hafta sonu gezisi için güzel bi yer. Yollar virajlı ve yokuş kalabalık gelinecekse temkinli olmakta fayda var. Yol manzarası cok guzel pamukkale ve diger yerler görülebiliyor. Çocuklu aileler için oldukça güzel . Göletin etrafı çayırlık ve temiz. Geç saate kalmayı düşünüyorsanız bi hırka bulundurun...
