What you'll see and do
Temple of Apollo
Didyma was famous throughout the ancient world as the place where a colossal Temple of Apollo stood, and the oracle revealed the future. The Word meant ‘the twins’ and the place was the meeting place of Zeus and Leto, to have their twins Apollo and Artemis. In its heyday, Didyma was not a city, but a place of worship, connected with Miletus by the so-called Sacred Way. This road was used by the pilgrims who arrived at Didyma, seeking answers to nagging questions. The first temple in Didyma was built by the ancient Greeks in the late 8th century BCE. Today, the remains of the archaic temple are located under Hellenistic construction.

Milet Antik Kenti
Miletos was one of the cities in Ionian League; challenging the power of Ephesus. Today, the crowds of sightseers from all over the world rub shoulders in Ephesus, leaving the pleasure of discovering the secrets of Miletus to small groups of curious visitors who manage to reach this site.According to legend which has three versions, the city is believed to be founded by a hero named Miletos. The area was a place for settlement even in Neollithic period (3500-3000 BC). In Hittite documents, the area was named as Millawanda. Before 500 BC, Miletus was the greatest Greek city in the east. It was the natural outlet for products from the interior of Anatolia; and the city was distinguished for its literary and scientific-philosophical figures, among them are Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, and Hecataeus. Inour Miletos tour, we'll be seeing Theater, Byzantine Fortress, Harbour Monuments, Delphinium, South Agora, Baths of Faustina, Mosque of Ilyas Bey, and Caravansaray.

Worth the extra effort
First, thank you Apasas for being flexible on the start time on a very hot day. It made all the difference being able to get out early. Second, these ruins require a little extra effort to get to but are so worth it. Priene is such an incredible place and walking amongst the ruins makes you feel like you’re walking in Alexander the Great’s footsteps. Pretty magical. Miletus and Didyma boast these incredible theater and temple respectively. The scale is something you must experience first hand. Our guide, Mel, and driver were so great and managing the day and keeping us one step ahead of everyone else. Thank you for a great day!

Great Shore Excursion from ship in Kusadasi
This company provided an excellent tour and our tour guide Melike was excellent. Her English was excellent. She had good knowledge of the sites we saw and was very mindful of our walking abilities as 70 year old couple and took it slow in the extreme August heat. She always made sure the driver was at the pickup point and the van was cool. They provided an excellent lunch in a local village restaurant We would recommend this company based on our experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your valuable online review. We are happy that you enjoyed our excursion. We wish you all the best again.

Priene, Miletus, and Didyma Day Tour from Kusadasi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kusadasi.
How much does Priene, Miletus, and Didyma Day Tour from Kusadasi cost?
+
Prices start at $206 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kusadasi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Priene, Miletus, and Didyma Day Tour from Kusadasi take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kusadasi is not rushed.
Is Priene, Miletus, and Didyma Day Tour from Kusadasi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kusadasi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Priene, Miletus, and Didyma Day Tour from Kusadasi?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Priene, Miletus, and Didyma Day Tour from Kusadasi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Priene, Miletus, and Didyma Day Tour from Kusadasi?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kusadasi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kusadasi and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Priene, Miletus, and Didyma Day Tour from Kusadasi start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kusadasi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kusadasi?
+
On Outty we rank every Kusadasi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include FOR CRUISERS: Ephesus & Virgin Mary Tour with Entry Fees & Lunch, Ephesus Temple of Artemis and House of Mary Private Half Day Tour, Best of Ephesus: Private & Group Skip-the-Line Tour for Cruisers. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kusadasi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kusadasi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
