A Day to Remember at Stratonikeia – Where Time Stands Still

We had an early start and began our journey with a scenic drive towards the remarkable ancient city of Stratonikeia. Before diving into history, we enjoyed a pleasant stop at the Muğla Outlet for a light and cheerful breakfast — the perfect way to set the tone for the day.

Stratonikeia, often called the City of Eternal Love, greeted us with a breathtaking fusion of civilisations. As we wandered its vast ruins, we moved through time itself — from ancient Hellenistic columns and Roman baths, to a gracefully standing Ottoman-era mosque nestled within the ancient city walls. The impressive gymnasium and latrinas offered rare glimpses into daily life in antiquity, while the library and stone theatre echoed with stories of the past.

One of the most enchanting corners of the site was the beautifully restored Ağa houses — elegant examples of Ottoman architecture that seamlessly blend into the classical surroundings. Stratonikeia isn’t just an ancient site; it’s a living, breathing tapestry of cultures and eras coexisting.

Later in the day, we paused for a relaxing coffee break, followed by a bit of leisurely shopping at the newly opened outlet centre before heading back to our sweet home, content and inspired.

The tour is suitable for participants of all ages.
