Superlative experience in a quite unpopular site. Came here too late in the afternoon so i had to find a place for the night: some men at the nearby village çay evi kindly drove me back to Karacasu where they gave me a free room at the municipality guest house. The following morning i hitchhiked to here and spent 4 hours exploring both the internal museum and the excavations. Really charming. A man asked me if i would like some sexual stuff while i was walking around the ruins and this has been the only time someone asked me in an open air museum. Maybe the name of the site makes it regular. Left and hitchhiked 2 cars to Denizli, met my Couchsurfing host. You can find my timelapse along the whole area in the video section.

Beautiful hidden ancient city! Full of surviving statues and sculptures, walls, columns. It is a big city and many small details to see as well as impressive theatre, stadiums, baths so spare 4-5 hours and definitely take the voice guide. I recommend reading before visiting the site. It’s discovery story is amusing in itself

Die Anlage ist eins der besten, die wir in den letzten Jahren gesehen haben. Gut sortiert , es gibt auch ein Shop mit einem Kaffee und Toiletten. Der Parkplatz grenzt an ein Polizeirevier.

Well worth the journey. Bring your walking shoes and come early to avoid crowds

happened to drop by, did not expect much.. well restored and preserved beautiful and magnificent ancient site. Highly recommend to visit, but would not like to recommend in order to keep it a silent secret place in person..^^;

If you want to take a walk in the history, you must visit Aphrodisias ancient city. Full of interesting and vivid sculptures. Great experience. Do not forget to wear a hat and sun cream in the summer time.

Sehr interessant...war ich bisher noch nie da es etwas abgelegen ist....aber sehenswert

A gem not to be missed. A historical ancient ruins that is located 40 kilometers west of Denizli on the way to Izmir. This site is not frequently advertised or visited by common tourists. It's beautiful and serene. This was my second time going there and I loved walking through the ruins and the museum.

Beautiful place and less crowded. The museum has really nice sculptures

(Translated by Google) the most beautiful ancient cities in Turkey. Be sure to check out the tetrapylon, stadium, pool and museum. It is better preserved and in a better condition than most ancient cities. For this, we should also thank Ara Güler and Kenan Erim. To further condemn the rudeness of the lady at the museum entrance ... (Original) Türkiye'deki en güzel antik kent. Özellikle tetrapylon, stadyum, havuz ve müzeyi mutlaka inceleyin. Çoğu antik kente göre daha iyi korunmuş ve daha iyi durumda bir yer. Bunun için Ara Güler ve Kenan Erim'e ayrıca teşekkür etmek gerek. Müze girişindeki hanımefendinin kabalığını ise ayrıca kınamak...

Amazing place , must see gem...

This rivals Pompeii is size and hosts some amazing epic sculptures

(Translated by Google) The ancient city of Aphrodisias has been on the World Heritage list since 2017, due to its value exchange, witness to cultural tradition, its importance in human history, and traditional human settlement criteria. It was opened to settlement in 5000 BC and grew and became a beautiful town. Our province of Aydın has a very old and relatively rich history. This history begins with the Hittites and continues with many other civilizations. These lands are seen to have come and gone by Lydians, Persians, Mecodonians, Ionians and Seleucids respectively. Later, these lands, which were a part of the Kingdom of Pergamon, became the property of the Romans 130 years before Christ. After the victory of Malazgirt in 1071, Aydin and its surroundings were conquered by the Turkish-oghuz armies under the command of the Seljuk qutalmışoğlu Süleyman Shah, who was recognized as the conqueror of Anatolia and the founder of the Turkish state. However, because of the great importance and value of this region, the Byzantines and the Christian world did not give up on these lands easily. It changed hands many times. In 1280, Menteşe Bey, one of the fronts of Selçuk, ended these handoffs and attributed it to the Turks. Have a nice holiday. (Original) Afrodisias antik kenti 2017'den beri değer alışverişi, kültürel geleneğe tanıklık, insanlık tarihindeki önemi,ve geleneksel insan yerleşimi kriterlerinden dolayı Dünya mirası listesindedir. MÖ 5000 yılında yerleşime açılarak büyümüş ve güzel bir belde olmuştur. Aydın ilimizin çok eski ve o nisbette zengin bir tarihi vardır.Bu tarih Hititler ile başlar ve daha nice uygarlıklarla devam eder. Bu topraklar sırası ile Lidyalılar, Persler,Mekodonyalılar, İyonlar ve Selevkoslar'ın gelip geçtikleri görülür.Daha sonra Bergama Krallığı'nın bir parçası olan bu topraklar Milat'tan 130 yıl önce Romalıların malı oldu.Çok uzun yıllar Roma egemenliğinin hüküm sürdüğü bu topraklar daha sonra bu güçlü imparatorluğun parçalanıp ikiye ayrılmasıyla Bizans payına düştü.Aydın ve cevresi,1071 yılındaki Malazgirt zaferinden sonra Anadolu fatihi ve Türk devletinin kurucusu olarak tanınan Selçuklu kutalmışoğlu Süleyman Şah'ın kumandasındaki Türk-oğuz orduları tarafından fethedildi. Ancak bu yörenin taşıdığı büyük önem ve değer yüzünden Bizanslılar ve Hırıstiyanlık alemi bu topraklardan kolay kolay vazgeçmedi. Bir çok defa el değiştirmiştir.1280 yılında Selçuk uçbeylerinden Menteşe bey, bu el değiştirmelere son vererek Türklere maletti . Hoşça kalın.İyi tatiller.

(Translated by Google) Until now, in the historical ancient cities I have seen, it has survived so solidly and I have not come across a large place, the ancient city, it is a very beautiful place We visited for 3.5 hours and still had places to visit. (Original) Su ana kadar gordugum tarihi antik sehirler içinde bu kadar saglam ayakta kalmis ve buyuk bir yer antik sehire rastlamadim gayet guzel bir yer 3.5 saat gezdik ve hala gezip bakmamiz gereken yerleri vardı

Museum and newly addition wing are amazing. Definitely read the instructions of statues. Green horse statue is spectacular. Great experience.

For me,it was amazing there. More beautiful tban Hierapolis( Pamukkale) for example . Not so big like Efesus or Hieroplous, but full of amazing traces of roman culture. Nice museum. Don t forget photo colections from the entrance. There is a true and amazi g saga about the discovery of this ancient city in xx s year. Not crowded. There are parking and cafetaria with a small book store. Don t miss this beautiful place!

I would call this a well laid out arachnological site. Secondly, I liked it especially as the location was not overcrowded with tourists who just wanted to take pictures of themselves at the site. It had people who were travellers that were really interested in the site. To get to the site, you needed to be ferried by a tractor powered people carrier. The temple of Aphrodite was a located prominently in a middle of a field. The other parts of the site were equally interesting. The Museum was the highlight of this visit – it was well laid out and exhibits of serious interest were laid out properly.

(Translated by Google) Prof. Dr. The ancient city that Kenan Erim devoted his life to bringing it to its present state, named after Aphrodite, has the second best intact stadium in the world, and a dizzying sculpture museum. If you are a little lucky like us, you can visit the whole city with the guidance of one of the playful cats. It will be useful to go in the morning cool in summer. Even if the road seems a little long, you will say that I am happy with its beauty and size. Of course, it would not be without thanking Ara Güler, he is the first person to understand the importance of this place and initiate its reveal. (Original) Prof. Dr. Kenan Erim’in günümüzdeki durumuna getirebilmek için hayatını adadığı, ismini Aphrodite’ten alan, dünyanın bozulmamış en iyi ikinci stadyumuna sahip, heykel müzesi ile baş döndüren antik kent. Bizim gibi biraz şanslıysanız oyuncu kedilerden birinin rehberliğiyle tüm kenti gezebilirsiniz. Yaz aylarında sabah serinliğinde gitmek faydalı olacaktır. Yolu belki biraz uzun gözüksede, güzelliği ve büyüklüğü ile iyi ki gelmişim diyeceksiniz. Tabii Ara Güler’e de teşekkür etmeden olmaz, kendisi buranın önemini ilk anlayan ve ortaya çıkarılmasına ön ayak olan kişidir.

Impressed with all the history here, if you have the opportunity to come, don't hesitate to do.

One of the most important ancient cities in Turkey. Definitely 'a must see' and a hidden gem, between Ephesus and Pamukkale (Hierapolis). The hippodrome, theater and many buildings stands and there are much more to be excavated. The museum which is just by the site is full of 2000 years old Sculptures. An amazing archaeological site Just one negative side, the museum shop is very expensive.

An incredible site that features some of the most beautiful marble carving, a sprawling ancient metropolis to explore, and well-preserved antiquities spanning a broad cross-section of history and culture. The Anatolians, Carians, and Romans were all here, and left their mark! One can immediately see why the Hellenes referred to the local goddess as Aphrodite, because this place is lush, fertile, beautiful, and magical-feeling. One of my favorite historic sites! I’ll be back again and again.

Highly recommended. One of the best Roman sculpture museum in Asia. There were very few visitors and we were able to enjoy the place peacefully.

Wonderful museum filled with well-described marble statues which were found all over the ancient site of Aphrodisias just outside. Well worth a visit!

Awesome!

(Translated by Google) Tourists do not go because it is not the perfect road, culture ministry should not include this place in their tours, instead of going to Pamukkale, it is the horizon to go here. (Original) mukemmel yol ustu olmadigindan turistler gitmiyor kultur bakamligi turlara bu yeri de illa katmali pamukkaleye gitmektense buraya gitmek ufku acat

(Translated by Google) The most elaborate and the largest ancient roman city I have ever visited. The sarcophagi are very elaborate, the huge stadium remained as it was, I found it magnificent, the bathhouse, the Agora, the theater .... I could feel myself in the Roman Empire. Inside the museum. I've never seen so many statues together. It was an enjoyable trip. Entry with Müzekart is free. There is a cafe where you can rest inside. Ara Güler is like a bonus in the photo exhibition 😊👍🏻. (Original) Şimdiye kadar gezdiğim en teferruatlı ve büyük antik roma şehri . Lahitler çok detay işcilikli, koskoca stadyum olduğu gibi kalmış , muhteşem buldum , hamam , Agora , tiyatro .... .

İçerde istirahat edebileceğiniz bir cafede var. Ara Güler fotoğraf sergiside bonus gibi 😊👍🏻.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent history, there is definitely a place to be seen, especially the 5 thousand-seat stadium (Original) Muhteşem bir tarih kesinlikle görülmesi gereken bir yer var özellikle 5 bin kişilik stadyum müthiş

(Translated by Google) An excellent antique city. The stadium, agora and theater are very well preserved! (Original) Отличный античный город. Стадион, агора и театр сохранились очень хорошо!

(Translated by Google) We were there after the rain. The ancient city and the sky were wonderful. Since we went to the ancient city early in the morning, it was like we visited an ancient city only for us. (Original) Yağmur sonrasında oradaydık. Antik kent ve gökyüzü harikaydı.Sabah erkenden antik kente gittiğimizden sadece bize özel bir antik kenti gezdik gibi olduk🙂👍Park ücreti alınmadı.

(Translated by Google) An ancient city worth seeing (Original) Gorulmeye deger bir antik kent

Extraordinary ancient city with some of the best preserved monuments of their kind anywhere in the world. The stadium has to be seen to be believed while the story of how the city was rediscovered paints a remarkable picture of how even the greatest of cities can be lost and then found.

My favorite place to go when i go to karacasu. Something about this place calls me there... everytime i go there i feel so happy qnd so complete...full of history. Go there and see it yourself.

By far the best ancient ruins we have seen in Turkey. We’ve visited a lot on the west coast and there are a few reasons why this was our favorite: 1) no hoards of tourists. There were relatively few people here which was strange because there are so many beautiful things to see. 2) much of the ruins are intact 3) the marble features are the most well preserved and well known in the area dating back to the ancient times. The amphitheater, the arena and the baths are absolutely stunning and huge! 4) entrance fee was cheap compared to all the other ancient ruins 5) the museum has phenomenal works of marble art so well preserved The only down side to this area is there isn’t a place to eat. There’s a place to buy water, ice cream and some sweets but that is all. Overall it was phenomenal and a must see.

Beautiful archaeological site, if you are interested in archaeology and you travel in the summer I suggest to visit early in the morning, because in the afternoon is very hot

Definitely worth visiting. Has nice collection. Museum card is accepted.

This museum is a must go, there is so much to see and to learn about. We had a great time Teşekkürler

Amazing hidden gem. There should be more visitors. It is a large ancient city. The museum is spectacular. What you should see are stadiums, bath house, sculpture's workshops and the ruins of the Aphrodisias temple itself.

An attractive about one hour from Pamukkale. We got there a little before 5pm. We were one of the few tourists there. Much better place compare to many crowded attractions. The amphitheater there is a bit small but good preserved.

Fabulous museum. Amazing running track and urban collinade development. Small theatre for meetings and large entertainment theatre. We'll worth a visit.

Beautiful ancient city. The temple of Aphrodite was stunning. It's very easy to spend a whole day here and not do the site justice. More tourists should come here.

Çekilen resimler çok güzel. Tekrar görmeyi çok istiyorum.

(Translated by Google) It is a unique place that should definitely be seen. (Original) Kesinlikle gidilmesi görülmesi gereken eşsiz bir yer.

(Translated by Google) It was a pleasure to go again, especially in the water period, it was very nice to go, there is no one, we traveled very comfortably and beautifully. (Original) Tekrar gitmek nasip oldu 🙂 ozellikle su donemde gitmek cok guzel oldu kimse yok gayet rahat ve guzel gezdik

(Translated by Google) I recommend visiting this place, and allocate 4 hours for this. Visit the stadium too (Original) Рекомендую посетить это место, и выделить на это часа 4. Посетите стадион тоже

Great historical site

It has amazing Greek and Roman theatre stadium and a lot other ruins which are absolutely astounding.

Fantastic. If you’re in the area this is a must see, if you’re headed from Pamukkale and have time take the mountain road to the west if you want some great views.

Great museum with many ancient statues and buildings. I was very impressed! I hope it will be more beautiful and interesting after the restoration of the agora.

The city of Aphrodite, Aphrodisias, has the greatest sculptures in the museum. The price can be a bit lower though. It is 30 Turkish Liras as it stands today.

Must see,as striking as Ephesus may be better very impressive museum

A lovely place with lot of history.

(Translated by Google) I loved it in one word. I can spend a day here reading the stories of the sculptures from morning to night. (Original) Tek kelime ile bayıldım. Bir günümü sabahtan akşama kadar burada heykellerin hikayelerini okuyarak geçirebilirim

(Translated by Google) Must-see (Original) Görülmesi gerekir

(Translated by Google) I liked it very much, it must be seen (Original) Çok begendim mutlaka görülmeli

One of most original and distinct museums in the world. All sort of unique sculptures with amazing stories. You can spend hours in the museum and the outdoor sites.

(Translated by Google) A must come, a must see 🤩 (Original) Mutlaka gelinmeli, görülmeli 🤩

(Translated by Google) Museum with many artifacts to visit. (Original) Museo con moltissimi reperti, da visitare.

(Translated by Google) Since it is crowded in the summer months, there are free excursions. It's a fairly large area. But not as much as Bi Efes. (Original) Yaz aylarında kalabalık olduğu için ücretsiz gezi seferleri var. Oldukça geniş bir alan. Ama Bi Efes kadar değil.

(Translated by Google) Incredibly great statues ... well worth seeing (Original) Unglaublich tolle Statuen ...sehenswert

(Translated by Google) To be in Denizli, Aphrodisias if I go, although I have 30 km away or is making enough of knowing the Go If you did it cause I think the publicity ... It was very impressive ... many thanks to those who contributed ... But no sale no 3 of a family of museum entrance fee conditions in Turkey It shouldn't have been 90 TL ... Developing one's culture should not be so expensive ... (Original) Denizlili olmama,Afrodisias'a 30 km uzaklıkta olmama rağmen gitmediysem veya bilip de gidemediysem buna sebep bence tanıtımının yeterince yapılmamasıdır ...Çok etkileyiciydi...Emeği geçenlere çok teşekkürler...Ancak hiçbir indirimi olmayan 3 kişilik bir ailenin müzeye giriş bedeli Türkiye şartlarında 90 TL olmamalıydı... İnsanın kültürünü geliştirmesi bu kadar pahalı olmamalı...

(Translated by Google) As someone who has visited 80% of the ancient cities in the Aegean and Mediterranean regions, I say. It is the best city after Ephesus. Especially the hippodrome is unique in the world. The sculptures and reliefs from the sculpture school in the museum are worth seeing. Before you die, see Aphrodisias, one of the most important ancient cities in the world. (Original) Ege ve Akdeniz bölgesindeki antik kentlerin, %80'ini gezmiş görmüş biri olarak söylüyorum. Efes'ten sonra en iyi şehir. Özellikle hipodromunun dünyada eşi benzeri yok. Müzede bulunan heykel traş okulundan çıkarılan heykeller ve kabartmalsr görülmeye değer. Dünyanın en önemli antik kentlerinden biri olan Afrodisias'a ölmeden önce gidi görün.

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful place where nature and history are intertwined. I recommend it to those who are interested in nature and history. Its biodiversity is rich. Squirrels come out everywhere, you can see various birds. Various herbs. And with its rich historical artifacts, different face sculptures, the architecture of the old times, the bath pool stadium ... Everything is magnificent. It is also very clean. (Original) Doğa ile tarih iç içe çok güzel bir yer. Doğayla ilgilenenlere de tarihle ilgilenenlere de öneririm. Biyoçeşitliliği zengin. Her yerden sincaplar çıkıyor, çeşitli kuşları görebilirsiniz.
