About an hour's drive away, Oren beach is a pebble beach with crystal clear water. For a small fee, you can make use of a sun lounger under a colourful umbrella!

Make sure you wear a hat and apply sunscreen before you visit the fabulous ancient city of Ephesus. And don't forget to drink plenty of water! About a 2 hour drive from Iasos.

If you want to get off the beaten track, take a half day to visit Lake Bafa. If you can find a tour guide, you might have the pleasure of seeing some pre-historic cave drawings or an old monastery.

If Ephesus is too far, or too crowded for you, don't miss the ancient city of Priene. Just as impressive (possibly more scenic with the towering cliff as a backdrop) with far fewer tourists. Also, it's closer with about a one hour and fifteen minute drive.

Visit the ancient city of Iasos without setting foot in your car. Just walk down the hill to the end of the bay and you can enjoy the ruins practically in your backyard. We like to visit the site at dusk and then head over to Ceyar's for a fish dinner.

Что взять с собой

Bring plenty of sunscreen

If you're visiting in summer months, pack lots of sunscreen! A hat is a great idea too.
Транспорт

A car rental is easiest

If you want to see lots of sites, near and far, a car is the easiest way to get around. But if you want to avoid driving, there are mini-buses for getting between our village and some of the nearby beaches and towns.

The Friday farmer's market is a must

You can stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as cheese and olives and dried goods at the weekly Friday farmer's market, located near the entrance to the village.

There's a small (nearly private) beach down the hill!

Continue down the street past our house and at the last road to your right, there's a gate and a footpath leading down the hill to a small beach used by the locals. The state of the beach is a little hit and miss, as occasionally people leave garbage behind or it washes up. But it's close and fairly easy to access!

Find the ancient Roman Villas on the peninsula

Italian archaeologists and their students restored some of the ancient Roman Villas on the peninsula across the bay. To find them, walk along the path at the foot of the hill, parallel to the water, towards the restored tower in the water. When you reach the end of the peninsula, start walking up the hill and midway up you will find the villas and the beautiful mosaics and frescoes that have been uncovered. If you continue walking around the other side of the peninsula, you may even come across parts of the ancient amphitheater as well as other structures. Have fun exploring!
