Priene, Miletus, and Didyma continued

---

Continuing on south to the ancient town of Miletus, we were pretty exhausted but gathered up enough energy to scramble among more ruins. Miletus was a grand city in its time (700BC-AD700). Their theatre boasted a seating capacity of 15,000. The ruins of it are almost 2,000 years old. I have some photos of the ruins (theatre, Great Harbour Monument, and my personal favorite, the Nymphaeum (the great fountain)and an artistic rendition of what it was.

We were totally beat and “ruined out” by the time we got to Didyma and briefly looked and made our way back to Selchuk for an early evening.
