The experience

The tour starts at Perge, where you walk the colonnaded street that Roman merchants once crossed. The site sits in the Mediterranean region between three ancient kingdoms, and the excavations here (the agora, the bath, the waterways, the theater) let you trace how people actually lived in the Roman period. You'll stand on the stairs where St. Paul and Barnabas are said to have walked in Anatolia.

From there you move to Aspendos, built on a hill 50 to 60 meters high nearly 2,000 years ago. The theater sits at the top, and when you enter through the main gate you're standing inside one of the best-preserved ancient theaters on the Mediterranean coast. The acoustics and the engineering of how they transported materials up that slope are what the site is known for. The architect Zenon's method is still visible in the structure itself.

Side comes next, a modern holiday town built inside the ancient Roman walls. You see the Apollo Temple and the beach, which lets you compare what the ancient city was and what it has become. The day ends at Manavgat Waterfall, where you can rest and cool off before the drive back to your hotel. Lunch is included at a restaurant along the route, and beverages are available as an option if you want them.

What exactly is there to see at Perge?

How is the Aspendos Theater different from other ancient theaters?

Aspendos Theater sits on top of a 50- to 60-meter-high hill and is one of the best-preserved ancient theaters on the Mediterranean coast. The engineering that allowed them to build and supply it at that height nearly 2,000 years ago is part of what makes it remarkable.
