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 !
