PERGE & ASPENDOS & SIDE
,
For our guests who wish to join our tour, we have daily transfers from Gazipaşa - Alanya - Belek - Antalya regions. After being picked up from the designated locations at the specified time, we start to explore the capital of tourism and its history. Our tour appeals to history and ancient age enthusiasts with a visit to Perge, located 15 km from Antalya. According to legend, the ancient city founded by the Trojans led by the seer Calchas will definitely catch your attention. The ancient ruins and monuments from the Roman period offer a rich variety: the Roman theater, the impressive 10,000-seat stadium, the Hellenistic gate of the city, the Agora, Roman baths, the columns on the main street of the city, the fountain, and the stepped canal are worth seeing.
Nearby (50 km) is the ancient Greco-Roman city of Aspendos, located on the Eurymedon (Köprü River). One of the first cities to mint its own coins in the 5th century BC, it was the largest city in Ancient Pamphylia, the cultural and trade center of the southern region of Anatolia in the past. The well-preserved and restored Aspendos theater, built in 155 AD, has become an important tourist destination. It could accommodate up to 55,000 spectators and features excellent acoustics and stage decor. It is now used for important cultural events, festivals, and concerts.
Following this, our tour will continue with a visit to the beautiful ancient city of Side by the seaside. Despite its small area, it has a rich history evidenced by numerous ruins, a harbor, columns, and three temples—one of which is the very popular Temple of Apollo. We will have our lunch and while returning to Antalya, we will visit the Manavgat Waterfall, where we will cool off and enjoy the view, taking photographs. We complete our time travel, settle into our vehicles, and bid farewell, dropping you off at the points from which we picked you up, hoping to see you again at another TATILPA organization.
