Asin Liman
A climb to the ancient fort of Iassus is must. The city was founded by the Peloponnesians in about 900 BC.
Didyma
Didyma which is only about 4 km inland from Altinkum. The Hellenistic Ionic temple of Apollo at Didyma is very large, impressive, and in good preservation. Here was an oracle of Apollo, the most renowned in antiquity after the oracle of Delphi. A must see site.
