Here are some attractions which are very near to our city, Milas:
EUROMOS: Euromos is one of my favorite places to visit. When I was a child I came here almost every weekend. Euromos is an ancient settlement place which dating from the 6th century B. C. The ruins are approximately 4 km southeast of Selimiye and 12 km nortwest of Milas where we live in. The temple, which was built for Zeus Lepsinos, is one of the best-preserved classical temples in Turkey. There are sixteen columns remain standing and most of the columns are inscribed in honor of the citizens who commissioned their construction. Unfortunately I don’ t know how to read them:( Anyway, if you come to Turkey in the future, you must visit here!
