  €2 entry per person. The site was amazingly quiet. It's nicely preserved and restored. You get to see several stages of development and amazing Roman baths.

  Feelings from visiting this place were far beyond my best expectations. Ancient Aptera has its own spirit. I recommend everyone to arrive at this place before tourists and buses, 8:30 am should be enough. Then you can walk through whole place and imagine, how life of ancient greek and romans should looked like - reconstruct the city in your mind with wonderful scenery all around (mountains, sea).
