Unforgettable Knidos sunset

Knidos is famed, among others, for the statue of Venus/Aphrodite by Praxiteles (4th century BC), first known sun-dial (Mathematician Eudoxus of Cnidus ~ 350 BC) carved out of a solid marble block which can be seen today as it was set up ~2300 years ago. Knidos is about an hours drive from Datça town through beautiful forests, scenery or by a boat trip interrupted by swimming stops in pristine Med bays, especially during hot summer months. Knidos/Cnidus site has many other spectacular ancient ruins and is slowly being excavated and will soon rival Ephesus and Aphrodisias. (Location: Knidos - Datça Peninsula)
