Stratonikeia Tour

Known as the City of Eternal Love, Stratonikeia is an ancient site that showcases a parade of historic periods. As you stroll through its storied streets, you’ll witness the architectural and cultural imprints of successive civilisations—from the ancient Greeks and Romans to the Ottoman Empire and more recent periods.

The tour begins with a guided visit to Stratonikeia—an ancient city founded in the 3rd century BC by the Seleucid king Antiochus I and named after his wife, Stratonice. It was a significant city in the region during the Hellenistic period, serving as a center for trade and commerce. Wander past grand colonnades, Roman baths, and along cobbled paths to see an impressive theatre that could seat 12,000 spectators—a glimpse into the city's glorious past.
