Miletus Balat, Hacılar Sk No:9, 09290 Didim/Aydın, Türkiye Last Updated: 12/25/2025 |
| Miletus was an influential ancient Greek city located on the western coast of Anatolia, near the mouth of the Maeander River in modern-day Türkiye. Renowned since antiquity for its wealth, maritime power, and extensive colonial network, Miletus was a major center of trade, culture, and innovation from the Bronze Age through the Roman period. | |
| Before the Persian invasion in the 6th century BC, Miletus was a thriving ancient Greek city and an important trading port. Thousands of years passed, sea levels receded; Miletus was situated deep inland, abandoned by its inhabitants, and the city fell into ruin. But, like many other ancient sites, archaeologists have done their best to reconstruct the Hellenistic remains of Miletus. The result is a worthwhile tourist attraction, though don't expect anything as magnificent as Ephesus. | |
