Söke to the coast: Kusadasi, Davutlar and the Dilek Peninsula
The shortest trips from Söke go north-west to the sea. Kusadasi is 25 minutes away, Davutlar even closer, and Güzelçamlı is the gateway to the Dilek Peninsula National Park. If your holiday continues on the peninsula, our guide to the national park and Güzelçamlı has the details.
Söke to Didim, Priene and Miletus
Heading south-west you cross the Büyük Menderes delta. Priene sits on the slopes above Güllübahçe, Miletus lies in the plain near Balat, and the road ends at Didim with the Temple of Apollo at Didyma and the beaches of Altınkum. Many people combine all three ancient sites on one day; see Priene, Miletus and Didyma and our Temple of Apollo guide.
