EUROMOS, KUSADASI – TURKEY

It is located between Milas and Bafa Lake. It is known to be one of the best preserved temples in Asia Minor which is the Temple of Euromos. It was built in the 2^nd century A.D. it was consisted of 17 columns originally and today 16 of them are standing. The temple was believed to be completed ever.

A few meters away from the Temple to the north, the city of Euromos is located. The remains of a round tower from 300 B.C. and a theatre can be seen. Several underground tomb chambers and a large building which could be the bath are among the ruins of the city.

Euromos was a polis created when a number of local cities decided to move to a single site better situated for defense. They chose an appropriate name for their new city: Euromos means "Strong."

The Temple of Zeus is about the only part of the city excavated. There's a theater completely covered by trees and brush, and bits of a massive wall, and of course everywhere you go, you're walking on ancient potsherds, which is simply normal for Turkey.

But the temple is amazing. It's survived the centuries and the earthquakes wonderfully well, and its setting is breathtaking.

This is the name of the rich people who are involved when built up this building. 
If you are planning to going there, please take note that there are no service around there except the villagers selling the cold drink. So, you need to arrange for your own transport to go there.
