Teos
Teos Antik Kenti
An Ionian ancient city with the largest Dionysus temple ruins and a theater in the Greek world, scattered among olive groves and the coastline.
Teos was one of the twelve Ionian city-states and the hometown of the lyric poet Anacreon, famous for the worship of Dionysus, god of wine. The site features the Temple of Dionysus, the largest wine god temple of antiquity, along with a theater, a council hall and an ancient harbor. Excavation and restoration have been ongoing in recent years. The site is large with little shade, so visit early or late in the day and bring water. Admission is low. It lies about 2 km south of Sığacık and can be linked on foot or by bicycle.
