How to go to Aphrodisias Archeological Site;
Side trip to Aphrodisias from Pamukkale has daily tours that starts every 0930H and ends around 1700H. Trip costs 30TRY($14.3) that includes aircon mini-bus round-trip transportation only. Travel time is around 2.5hrs. Admission to the site costs 15TRY($7.1). Photography and video taking (with monopod or tripod) is permitted inside. Estimated to finish roaming around at least 3 hours to see the site entirely. All locations are easily walkable and within a square kilometer of area.

Aphrodisias (sometimes Afrodisias) is located inland in the Southern Aegean region, about 30 km west of Denizli. As an archaeological site, it contains some of the most impressive Roman ruins in Turkey, and has perhaps more bang for your money than Ephesus. Aphrodisias was named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, who had here her unique cult image, the Aphrodite of Aphrodisias.
