We rented a car in Kusadasi and went to several ruin sites all the way down to Didim and thoroughly enjoyed them all. They were all a little different and Priene was one of the largest and most varied of them all. Nice litte theatre and standing columns plus a large village below with exhibition grounds and many houses and... More
