Miletus

  Miletus is one of the historical places on the way to Bodrum. It, for sure, is a must to see. The history of Miletus goes back to the 2000 B.C.
Miletus, which used to be a harbor city at a time, had its best period between 650 B.C. and 546 B.C.,until the Persians siezed and destroyed the city. Later, in 479 B.C., when the Persians were defeated, it was restored.

The geometric plan of the first city planner Hippodamos, which is still envied and admired today, was applied to the city. The theatre ,with a capacity of 1500 people, Faustina Baths, Palaestra, Serapis Tample are some of the remainings of this civilization. The whole of the Agora and some statues were smuggled. Other than the Church and the Holly Cemetery, the Gmnasionwhich, which had been restored and Isa Bey Mosque, which is a Selcuk monument were of the pieces we adored. The Harbor Gate at the end of the Holly Road, Demeter and Korean

Tamples, also the Goddess Athena Tample are worth to see.
Thales, Anaximandros, Anaximenes, Hekataios and Isidoros were of the important people of the Miletus, which was a city of commerce, art and science.
