Its story
Pygela was a small Ionian town south of Ephesus, on the shore of the Bay of Kuşadası. Legends link its founding to the Mycenaean King Agamemnon and soldiers who settled here on returning from the Trojan War. Ancient sources mention it for its sanctuary of Artemis Munychia. The remains are limited; the settlement can be a short stop for those curious about Kuşadası's ancient past.
