     MOUNT IDA OR IN OTHER WORDS TRAOS
 
   

Ida is one the most populated regions that humans chose to live since the early ages. Being on the crossroads of immİgration trails from South to North and East to West provided the region an important geopolitical and strategical value. Having rich natural and underground resources.in addition to a suitable climate and soil enabled the region to be a favorite settlement area.

Iliada gives us the initial written information on the nature of the region while describing the life at Ida 3200 years ago. In Homer's verses Ida is presented as a country of heaven for gods and humans with forests, variety of animals and plentiful water resources deserving the name "thousand springs".

Although thousands of years passed not much has changed in the Ida region. With the emerald coloured springs and abundant oxygen in the air, Mount Ida still carries its fame today.

Club Aphrodite serves as a center to the guests who are interested in visiting the places that stood witness to history for thousands of years. For this reason we wanted to include history, mithology and regional legends to our web site.
