STRATONIKEIA ÖRENYERİvisitor guide.

Stratonikeia ancient city lies within Eskihisar Village on the Yatağan-Milas highway, 6–7 km west of Yatağan District in Muğla. Founded in the 3rd century BC, Syrian King Seleucus I gave his wife Stratonice to his son Antiochus, who founded the city in honor of his stepmother and wife Stratonice. According to geographer Strabo, the city was embellished with magnificent buildings. Excavated coins demonstrate that Stratonikeia began striking coins upon gaining independence from Rhodes in 167 BC, continuing through Gallienus (253–268 AD). The acropolis occupies the southern hill summit, surrounded by a wall. To the north, on a terrace just below the modern highway, an inscription marks remains of a small imperial temple.
