Perched on the tip of the Datça Peninsula, Knidos was once a thriving center of trade, science, and art in ancient Caria.

Founded by the Dorians, the city became renowned for its impressive harbors, grand theaters, and temples, including the famed Temple of Aphrodite that housed Praxiteles’ celebrated statue.

Strolling among its ruins today, visitors encounter mosaics, columns, and amphitheaters overlooking the glittering Aegean Sea, where history blends seamlessly with breathtaking coastal views.

Knidos remains a timeless site, offering a glimpse into the sophistication of the ancient world and the enduring beauty of its natural setting.
