Panionion - Panionion

For some, it may be a stone heap. But for the first time, I will make a personal comment by getting out of objectivity. I have visited so many ancient and historical places that most of them seemed to me as piles of stones and meaningless. I don't know why, but I felt something very different here. First I will give you information about the field and then link the subject .. My other friends wrote the historical information, I am passing that as well. To go here, you can enter Zeus Cave by seeing a big sign to the left a few kilometers before. The road takes you on a dirt road, not much, at most 1 km, then there is another road to the left again. However, the sign there is very old and left behind, don't miss it and go to the villages :)) Maybe you can enter that road with a high vehicle because its entrance is very bad. But there is no need to enter, you can park right on the edge and reach the area by walking only 200 meters in birdsong. Let me come to the spiritual part now. It probably gave me the feeling that I was living in those years and that I would attend the meeting, probably because it did not receive many visitors, there was no business inside it, etc. Look, this is a very important move Turkey's territorial history, not that of yourself wherever you go you feel at that time is almost impossible, but if I teleported myself in the thousands of years that you know me! This feeling was so beautiful that I sat under the shade tree on the lecture hall, I Lived the history that remained untouched for minutes. If you love history, come to this place I call "time machine" and experience what I told you, imagine those people with you.

If your understanding of archeology consists of seeing columns, you can skip this place. However, Panionion is an ancient area founded at the foot of Mykale Mountain, known today as Samson Mountain, where delegates of 12 Ionian cities gather and make vital decisions. It was also used for various celebrations. The road is dirt, but the vehicle can easily enter. Kuşadası Municipality has placed a sign explaining the historical feature of the place. Although there is a garbage can on its side, people scattered their garbage around as usual. If you are on your way, I recommend you to stop by. History is not a concept that can only be evaluated with residue and can be said to be "not worth coming". You cannot visit the antique area like a car gallery. Go to Panionion, sit on the steps and imagine the moments when the Ionian delegates sat on the steps where you were sitting thousands of years ago and made the decisions that guide the course of history. Then you can realize the true value of this field.

There is a sign in the bushes on the road But it is impossible to find the place, it is a land knitted with wire pairs, we searched for an hour, we couldn't find it, shame on you, you are entering a makeshift stony road, the end is frustrated, one is not so insensitive, interested people, please take care, who has the courage to draw wires to historical places and places?

Panionion is the name and center of the union formed by the twelve Ionian cities among themselves. It is located in Güzelçamlı, a district of Aydın. We saw that the way to the ancient amphitheatre was blocked by one person. We ran into two dogs on the way there. I think this situation may deter those who want to see Panionion. I expect the authorities of Kuşadası Municipality and the Ministry of Tourism to prevent this occupation and blocking situation.
