Priene is one of the most ancient cities in Turkey. It is located on a hillside 35 km from Kusadasi and 10 km north of the Menderes river. Tourists can explore the traces of the once glorious and well-structured ancient city. The temple of Goddess Athena is Priene’s most prized historical site. Priene is also home to a Byzantine-period church built in the 5th century.
The temple was founded by Alexander the Great and is located at the highest point of the city. All that remains of the temple are a few ruins and five tall standing columns. A well-preserved Greek Amphitheatre and assembly building are also located nearby. Priene is also home to a Byzantine-period church built in the 5th century. Take a taxi, minibus or full day tour to the ancient city located one hour from Kusadasi.
