Didim Weather
The climate of Didim generally carries the typical Mediterranean characteristics.
Didyma (Didim Turkey) was an ancient Ionian sanctuary, the modern Didim Turkey. The sanctuary containing a temple and oracle of Apollo, the Didymaion. In Greek didyma means “twin”, but the Greeks who sought a “twin” at Didyma (Didim) ignored the Carian origin of the name,. Next to Delphi, Didyma (Didim)was the most renowned oracle of the Hellenic world, first mentioned among the Greeks in the Homeric Hymn to Apollo, but preceding literacy and even the colonization of Ionia. Mythic genealogies of the origins of the Branchidae line of priests, designed to capture the origins of Didyma as a Hellenic tradition, date to the Hellenistic period.Didyma (Didim) was the largest and most significant sanctuary on the territory of the great classical city Miletus. To approach it, visitors would follow the Sacred Way to Didyma (Didim), about 17km long.
Along the way, were ritual waystations, and statues of members of the Branchidae family, male and female, as well as animal figures. Some of these statues, dating back to the 6th century BC are now in the British Museum, taken by Charles Newton in the 19th century. Greek and Roman authors laboured to refer the name Didyma to “twin” temples — not a feature of the site — or to temples of the twins, Apollo and Artemis, whose own cult center at Didyma (Didim) was only recently established, or whether, as Wilamowitz suggested[5] there is a connection to Cybele Dindymene, “Cybele of Mount Dindymon”, is mooted. Recent excavations by the German team of archaeologists have uncovered a major sanctuary dedicated to Artemis, with the key ritual focus being water.
The sixth-century Didymaion, dedicated to Apollo, enclosed its smaller predecessor, which archaeologists have identified. Its treasury was enriched by gifts from Croesus. Until its destruction by the Persians in 494 BC, Didyma’s sanctuary was administered by the family of the Branchidae, who claimed descent from Branchos, a youth beloved of Apollo
