Ottoman Baths
Historical landmark
👍 I recently had the opportunity to visit the Ottoman baths, and while the experience was certainly interesting, I have to say that I was a bit underwhelmed.

House of Orpheus
Historical landmark

A long marble column sh...

Agora
Historical landmark
👍 Agora of the ancient city located just in front of the Roman Odeon. Unfortunately not too much preserved here. You need to close your eyes and fantasize on how those crowds of ancient citizens are gathering here to trade, gossip and consume the art. ;)
