Sailing in Turkey also allows visitors to experience the hospitality of the people in the coastal villages and towns. The tempered winds blowing from west and northwest make the long summers ideal for yachting, and seem to encourage an appreciation of nature. From some of the turquoise coast's unspoilt and sheltered bays you can see mountain peaks rising to almost 3000 meters above sea level.

PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

Denizpınarı (Klaros) is located on 80-hectare area of a wonderful bay on the coast of Ahmetbeyli - Gümüldür. Denizpınarı Resting Area, which is 70 km away from Izmir, 40 km from Menderes and 25 km from Kuşadası, is open for trips with a wonderful sea sight. Its deep cove, after 5 m sea water going to deep.

KLAROS ANTIC CITY
Klaros Antic City is also located in this area. Near the temple were found the remains of a "hecatomb" where animals were tied up ready for slaughter. Signs at the site suggest that there will probably be work to improve the presentation shortly. For the time being there is a small open-air "museum" of replicas of items found here. This is a lovely, peaceful site in a quiet location.

Claros was the site of a great temple to Apollo Claros with a famous oracle that bore the same sort of relationship to Notion (Colophon) as Didyma did to Miletus which means that you won't find extensive ruins here, just traces of the temple and the buildings that went with it, including a "katagogeoin" which seems to have been an early inn for visiting pilgrims. Excavations have uncovered a Sacred Way linking the two sites just as there was between Didyma and Miletus although it was beneath water when I visited.

Claros1The Temple of Apollo is believed to date back to the 3rd century BC and was the only temple in Ionia that was originally built in the Doric style although it was extensively remodelled in Hellenistic times and again during the reign of the Enperor Hadrian. It was adorned with huge statues of Apollo, his sister Artemis and his mother Leto; there are replicas of the pieces that have been recovered at the site.

The temple was built over a sacred spring and these days it stands like an island in water. In Roman times it also seems to have served as a temple to the emperors Augustus and Tiberius.  As with the great temple at Didyma building work here never seems to have been completely finished.
