St.Prienne
The first establishments in Priene go back till 2000 BC. According to ancient documents, these first settlers were the Banians who mixed with the Ionians. In the Archaic period, the city's location may have been nearer to Miletus on the delta of the Buyuk Menderes (Meander). Later the city moved in the direction of the Mykale Mountains' slope.
Miletus
Miletus is one of the oldest cities of Ionia, located North of Soke, about 60 km from Kusadasi. The city was the point where the Buyuk Menderes ("Meander") flew into the Aegean sea. Because of the alluviums, Miletus has been remote several times from sea, which explains that one can see today different harbors. Miletus was also the city of many scientists and philosophers such as Thales, Anaximander, Hekataios (principle source to Herodotos)
Didyma
This temple dedicated to Apollo was the richest and biggest of the Ionian temples on Anatolian soil. It was to cover such a vast area, that its construction lasted more than 150-200 years and yet it was planned to be without ceiling.
