Awesome There were very few people, which led to the opinion that the ruins of Priene were not a popular tourist destination, although it was absolutely unjustified. In June 2025, they paid 390 liras for two people to enter, but after 19 hours people came and entered for free. There is ample Parking nearby, we traveled by caravan, parked freely, I think it was possible to spend the night. An entire ancient city, built almost simultaneously in the middle of the IV century BC, with streets, churches, baths, running water, etc., and crowning it all, of course, is the theater and temple of Athena, the money for the construction of which was allocated by Alexander the Great. We thought we'd take a quick look, but 3 hours flew by unnoticed and I didn't want to rush to leave. A lot of cool photos were taken

The Ancient City of Priene is one of the ancient cities in Turkey that I am most impressed by. The fact that it is quiet, peaceful and away from crowds gives a person a special sense of discovery. With its grid-planned streets, theater and Athena Temple, it is a place that makes the city life of the ancient period feel very clearly. Especially going up to the seating steps of the theater and watching the view is an unforgettable experience. It is an ancient city that must be seen both with its historical texture and natural beauty.
