Turkey // The central and southern Aegean

Euromos and Labranda

Explore The central and southern Aegean

A short distance northwest of Milas – a small, initially nondescript town of some 35,000 people – lie two impressive Carian ruins: Euromos and isolated Labranda, for which you’ll really need your own vehicle to visit. A treat for dedicated ruin enthusiasts, the former boasts a Corinthian Temple of Zeus, while the latter’s sanctuary of Zeus is arguably the most beautifully set, and least visited, archeological zone of ancient Caria.
