Bodrum, Didyma, Miletus and back to Istanbul

In Bodrum, we visited the Castle of St Peter
From there, we visited the ancient cities of Didyma and Miletus.

Didyma was an important sacred site in the ancient Greek world. Its famous oracle and Temple of Apollo attracted crowds of pilgrims and was second in importance only to Delphi.

Miletus was one of the most important cities in the ancient Greek world, but eventually declined due when the harbor silted up. St. Paul stopped at Miletus on his Third Missionary Journey, on his way back to Jerusalem.
To the airport…back to Istanbul on a plane with the heater on full blast.
