The initial Apollo temple was constructed around the archaic period. It was later succeeded by another temple, Hellenistic temple that was constructed on the earlier building’s foundations. Many materials from earlier temple were used in the construction of second temple. The current temple structure is iconic and measures 60 X 118 m. The temple has dipteral arrangement in two rows. Each side of the rows contains 21 columns and at the end both the rows contain ten columns each. Each column is of different style and the pedestals are decorated with many reliefs.  The columns support surmounted architrave by frieze. Architrave is decorated with gorgon heads and acanthus leaves. Car hire in Didim is recommended to travelers who wish to drive around on their own.

The pronaos located on top of the monumental steps lead into naos which has two columns and gives access to cella or the holy area which is in similar to courtyard and it is open. This court yard is surrounded with high walls having numerous columns.  It also contains small and beautiful temple that earlier housed a god’s statue. Didim could never flourish or develop into a large city. Its fame was restricted to only the sacred spring and the later founded temple. It was reorganized and made more popular only when Greeks took over the sanctuary. With so much to explore, renting a car is cheaper and smarter option for travel.
