2. The Apollo Temple of Didyma, located within the boundaries of the village of Yeni Hisar in the Söke district of the province of Aydin, was known as a sanctuary and seat of an oracle attached to Miletus. Recent excavations revealed remains which showed that Didyma was not only a seat of an oracle but also the site of dense settlement. The research concerning the origins of the names of Didyma and Didymaion has been a subject of discussion. Along with several other myths, it was thought that the name Didymaion, which meant "twin temples", was related to Artemis, the twin sister of Apollo. However, as no definite evidence could be found, this theory also remains as a myth. The first excavations in Didyma were made in 1858. The area excavated was the Sacred Road. From the excavations it was understood that the road was 16,5km long. The width of the road which was made of stone blocks, changed between 5 and 7 metres.
