3Laodikeia Antik Kenti
We set off for the ancient city Laodicea and arrive in about 30 minutes. After a 1 hour visit, we set off for Marmaris and arrive in Marmaris after 2 hours and 30 minutes. Laodicea (Laodikya, Laodikeia), 6 km (4 miles) north of Denizli and 1 km (6/10 mile) east of the road to Pamukkale (map) near the village of Goncalı, is an extremely old city that is being “born again” through archeological restoration. Excavations here have revealed artifacts dating from 3500 BC (Late Chalcolithic) to 3000 BC (Early Bronze Age). The city’s name comes from the Seleucid king Antiochus ii, who named it for his wife Laodike in the 3rd century BC when it wa thriving. Later controlled by the kings of Pergamum, it was willed to the Roman Empire, and thrived again from the 4th to 6th centuries. Its importance then numbered it among the Seven Churches of Revelation. Set in an earthquake zone, it was ruined and restored many times, but by the early 1200s it was only farmer’s fields.
