| | Miletus (Milet), near Ephesus, Turkey |
 | | Miletus is known for its gigantic Hellenistic theater, reconstructed by the Romans and perhaps the most impressive theater structure in Anatolia. |
 | | You'll see how the theater was constructed, and how the huge crowds of up to 15,000 spectators moved about, you'll be out of the blazing sun, and the breeze down the stairwell will cool you before you emerge, panting and blinking, onto the theater's upper tiers. |
 | | The view from the top is excellent, revealing the theater itself, the flood plain, and the other remains of ancient Miletus including the Northern and Southern Agoras and traces of the city walls, bouleuterion, Baths of Faustina, stadium and other structures, all now badly ruined. |
