Bakırçay

A 4,500-year-old marble goddess figure has been discovered during the surface surveys conducted in the Bakırçay Plain, located within the borders of the ancient city of Pergamon in the Bergama district of İzmir.

The remains of a 2,500-year-old ancient port were revealed for the first time in a generation due to a low tide in Turkey's northern Aegean town of Ören.

"I've been hiking up here for many years. I've been watching the seaside. It's the first time I see such a huge low tide," said local resident Timur Yılmaz, who is a retired military sergeant.
