You can walk around in what is basically a small village of ancient Greek ruins, but the library is clearly the highlight of this site.
The library wall is almost complete and many details are still clearly visible.
It is an impressive site, standing tall and proud.
As you walk around, you can learn about the various aspects of ancient Greek life and society. However, be prepared for the heat. As impressive as the experience was, I could not stay there very long. Many tourists chose to buy hats to protect against the heat as you are in a very exposed place, without trees around to provide shade. With the sandstone colors, the light is reflected and the heat is multiplied.
I believe this is one of the best preserved ancient Greek ruins that remain in the world and it is a must-see.
