Travel Guide Milet

Milet is the seat of a philosophical school created in 600 BC, considered as the first university in the world. Its only professor is Thales, the famous geometer. The city is one of the twelve cities of the Ionian Confederation. Thanks to its privileged geographical position and the dynamism of its inhabitants, it became a maritime and commercial power. Its decadence coincides with the silting up of the port. The lack of water will make desert its population. Its theater is impressive and in very good condition.Beware, there is no connection with Priene. Use the dolmuş that will take you from Söke to Balat, and drop you off 2 km from the site.
