As one of the best know classical sites in Turkey, it boasts a magnificent theatre of the ancient city, the Agora and the Apollo Temple. There is nothing more beautiful than the sun setting behind the  
Apollo Temple at the tip of the peninsula, where Anthony and Cleopatra are rumored to have shared their first kiss. The archeological artifacts on display at the museum, formerly a Roman bath, are amongst the finest in Turkey.
