Once the home of goddesses, a harbor open to the sky…
The Ancient City of Knidos lies at the western tip of the Datça Peninsula in the province of Muğla.
In antiquity, this harbor city was one of the most prominent centers of science, art, and trade.
Today, it enchants visitors with its theater, temples, agora, and breathtaking setting.
Situated where the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas meet, Knidos offers both archaeological richness and natural beauty.

Knidos reached its peak in the 4th century BC, becoming a renowned hub of learning and art.
It was home to famous figures such as the astronomer Eudoxus, the painter Polygnotus, and the pioneering female physician Agnodice.
Built upon two harbors, the city played a vital role in maritime trade.
Among its most notable structures are the Temple of Aphrodite, the large theater, the bouleuterion (council building), and the necropolis.
Knidos gained fame for its Aphrodite statue, housed in the world’s first circular temple dedicated to the goddess of love.
