The Aphrodisias site was quiet and majestic. It felt like walking through a forgotten city of gods.
The ancient theater and carvings were incredibly well-preserved. Worth the journey from Pamukkale.
I really enjoyed the stadium and the sculpture museum. It was peaceful and beautiful.
An unexpected gem. Our guide explained everything with great passion. I am so glad we added this to our trip.
