What You Will Do
Turquoise sea, golden sand, light glistening on ancient ruins. A dream painted in sunset hues. All is in Antalya with the blend of the remants from the eras, from the emperors of the eras who left their marks in this lovely region. Well-preserved historical sites give us an opportunity to be explored. We will start with Perge, an important city of ancient Pamphylia, which St Paul visited on his first missionary journey. Our next journey is straight to Aspendos Ancient City with its massive well preserved theatre, with a capacity of 15,000 spectators. Still used today, the theatre's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all testify to the architect's success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, an agora and one of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia. Our final destination is Side with the remains of Roman baths, temples, churches, a mausoleum, theatre and agora which are in good condition as of today. The jewels of Mediterranean await your visit.

Perge Ancient City
1 hour 30 minutes
Welcome to our jewels of Mediterranean heritage tour in Antalya district. Our full day excursion is dedicated to top three important landmarks of Eastern Mediterranean region. Our first stop is Perge, The ancient city of Perge near today's Antalya was founded in about 1000 BC and then captured by the Persians, and by the armies of Alexander the Great about 333 BC before it became a part of the Seleucid Kingdom. Then in 188 BC the Romans arrived. The majority of places you can see today have been built, including a theatre that holds 15 000 people, a public square, a gymnasium and a necropolis. The ruins of Roman baths, the imposing gates of the town and a nymphaeum from the 2nd century AD can also be found there. Thirteen ancient images, including the only complete sculpture by Emperor Caracalla, a 6 ft display by moon Goddess Selene and goddesses Aphrodite, Némesis, Athena and Tykhe, have been discovered during recent excavations in Perge. A magnificent ancient city to be discovered.
