Didyma

Located 48 miles (78 kilometers) south of Kusadasi in Turkey, Didyma is a sanctuary centered on the 2nd-century-BC Temple of Apollo, which once ranked among the largest in the ancient Greek world. Today, visitors can explore the remains of this grand structure, now reduced to giant broken columns and chambers. The temple was a significant pilgrimage site, drawing thousands who sought to worship Apollo and consult its prophesy-giving oracle. Amid the ruins, one can still sense the historical and spiritual significance that drew so many to this sacred place.
