Aphrodisias is the ruin of a Roman city in the Southern Aegean region of Turkey, and a for its wealth of remains. Geyre is the small modern village next to it, deriving its name from Caria an early Grecian state absorbed by the Roman Empire.
Tranquil place with garden and pool 2 km from the ruins.
Charming little pansiyon and restaurant with Dandalas stream running through it.
By far the easiest is to drive here, using D585 between Nazilli and Tavas.) There's a parking lot within the site and another at the village crossroads, effectively an overspill.
Read in the guideFrom Geyre village to the site entrance is 2 km along a main highway: there's no sidewalk but traffic is light. If you stay in the village, ask if the west service gate is open, a shorter walk on a quiet lane.
