Iasos
Iasos Antik Kenti
A seaside ancient city on the Güllük Gulf peninsula, with a theater, council house and walls scattered along the shore, and a neighboring fishing village famous for seafood.
Iasos was an important port city of Caria and lies today in the fishing village of Kıyıkışlacık. The remains include a council house (bouleuterion), a marketplace, Roman tombs, theater ruins and city walls that extend into the sea. A medieval castle stands across the water, and the mix of sea and ruins makes for striking photos. The village's seafront fish restaurants are where locals go for seafood on weekends. It is about 1 hour's drive from Didim, going around Güllük Gulf, and can be combined with Euromos in a day trip.
