Every few years there seems to be a debate over who is going to build the next “world’s tallest building.” It seems that human nature hasn’t changed much in this respect since antiquity… The structure that is the fame of Didim- its Temple of Apollo, took over 500 years to build and still, because of huge costs and engineering setbacks, was never entirely completed. Travellers from across the ancient world used to come here, seeking the counsel of an oracle who was the voice of Apollo, the God who could not tell a lie. Although only 3 of the original columns still rise to their original height (out of a total of over 100 columns), the massiveness of the bases there guarantee that you will have little difficulty imagining the imposing beauty of this site as it once stood. It was the third-largest manmade structure of the ancient world.
