Euromos (Temple of Zeus Lepsinos)
Euromos Antik Kenti
A Corinthian temple of Zeus in an olive grove, with most of its 16 columns still standing, one of Turkey's best-preserved temples.
Euromos was a Carian city, and its centerpiece is the Roman-era Temple of Zeus Lepsinos from the 2nd century AD. Sixteen Corinthian columns still stand among olive trees, and some column shafts still show blank panels meant for inscriptions. Few visitors come here, and the atmosphere is peaceful. The site lies right beside the Didim–Milas road (toward Bodrum), about 50 minutes' drive from Didim. It can be combined with Iasos and Lake Bafa in a day trip. The entrance fee is small, and the site is generally open from about 08:00 to 19:00.
Opening hours
Summer 08:00–19:00; winter 08:00–17:00
