  2. Zeus Akraios is a small temple of a settlement on the hill covered with pine trees in the West of Bagarcik. The temple is almost square planned. On the entrance part, shield and helmet was placed on top of the pillars. From the epigraphs it was understood that it was devoted to Zeus on the Mountain Peak (Akraios), mountain being the nearby Tekerlekdag peak of Latmos Mountains. An antique King Road of large stone slabs connects the temple to the Carian city of Herakleia Latmos by Lake Bafa almost 17 km away on the west.
