Istanbul, April 20 (DHA) - Residents of Didim, Turkish Aegean district, attended the march through ancient processional road from the Delphinion in Miletus to the Temple of Apollo at Didyma, 13 kilometres across the rough and hilly terrain along the southern edge of what once was Ionia. The march was organised within the Tourism Week activities, as the annual sojourn of Milesians along this road for the festival and celebrations at Didyma was an important and integral element in the cult of Apollo. Amongst the god’s many attributes he was known as the protector of seafarers and ships, and for Miletus with its four harbours the ceremonies and dedications to Apollo would therefore have been of paramount importance. Iskender Yönden, head official of Didim (ancient Greek name Didyma) district, said the march was organised to draw local attention to the ancient ruins of the region, where tens of thousands of local and foreign tourists visit every year.
