Miletus Museum

Both the museum and ancient city were nice. Definitely agree with the other review suggesting to go to the museum first. Only negative about the museum is that only 2 of the toilets were operational (as in the locks of the other stalls were not working). Shouldn't be a problem for most I think.

Loved being able to climb an almost empty amphitheatre and explore the various sections and structures behind it by myself. The ancient city is pretty big and I didn't explore most of it as I almost passed out from the heat. If you have the time and energy, highly recommend!

It’s a small museum very close to the ancient city of Miletus. It’s a must stop place on the way to the ancient city. During my visit it wasn’t very crowded (which was great) and we were able to appreciate the lovely artifacts in peace. Hope they get more investments to the museum so they can make it a more modern and detailed museum.

Really recommend visiting the small museum first as it explains the whole context, history and layout of the city before you walk it, i was fascinated by how, despite being miles inland now, it had been a harbour city before the large inlet slowly silted up through Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Turkish periods.

Start at the huge and well preserved amphitheatre and walk a loop around and ancient city and go back in time using the information boards all over the site. The images of how each building once looked, help bring it to life.

If you have seen Ephesus then this is a great alternative to visit. Besides Ancient Miletus this museum that is on site tells the rest of the story. Very open inside for easy accessibility with modern bathrooms. The museum gives the site history and displays the finer artifacts they have found. Very good outside courtyard with highly detailed sculptures and sarcophagi. Happy exploring!

A nice walk through museum to visit before or after you tour the ruins. I found it very informative and interesting. View old coins, pottery and statues.

This museum is very clean and has a great collection of artifacts found on the region. It shows artifacts from different periods of time throughout history. It's not overwhelming.

Museum is good. Theater at Miletos is impressive, but the rest of the ruins are somewhat disappointing. Ruins at nearby Priene gives a better impression of what an ancient town town must of have been like.

Amazing site to visit. Best when visited in conjunction with Apollo temple

There were great artifacts from throughout the history of this place. If you are interested in history, and find it worth to see ancient cities, definitely make a visit. Also see the amphitheater nearby!

Items ranging from 1900 BC into Roman Era. Great exhibits, and cool outside Roman amphitheater!

Excellent way to spend a few hours

Great little museum. Amazing intricate pieces from thousands of years BC. We were there on a weekday and were the only ones there.

The Miletos Museum Directorate is located in the ancient city of Aydin province, Didim district, near the village of Balat. The static structure of the museum building, which was opened in 1973, deteriorated over time. Due to the danger of this situation in terms of the safety of life and property, he was closed to visit. Following the closure of the old museum building, work was started on the construction of the new building, which has a usage area of 1200 square meters, was put into service in 2011. The closed exhibition area is located within the museum Administrative Building. The finds of the ancient city of Miletos, the ancient city of Priene and the Temple of Apollo in Didim are exhibited in an area of approximately 600 square meters. Please thank you for having these works.

Excellent city to visit. The theatre is better than the one at ephesus. Pity the Germans took the gate to the agora , to Berlin

Cool historical place.
Museum and ruins in one place!
Not so big but very interesting. Recommend to visit

This is small but very interesting and well organized museum. Do not skip it during your visit in Miletus. Ticket for entering the site is valid for entering the museum as well.

Such an interesting place, the amphitheatre is well worth a walk round. Nice restaurant and gift shop too

Ancient and fantastic place.

Nice small museum at the entrance of Miletus. Good have info about Miletus and Priene.

Well organized and educating museum. Same ticket allows entrance to the wide area of ruins.
