Excursion Perge & aspendos tour at Antalya

Experience the ancient grandeur and architecture of Perge and Aspendos during this scenic, half-day sightseeing excursion.

Perge

Depart the pier for the 45-minute drive to Perge, located approximately nine miles (about 14 kilometres) east of Antalya. Upon arrival, take a guided walking tour of this ancient city. Pass through the Roman Gate, the original entrance to the city, and see the Baths Complex, a Hellenistic gateway and walls, and the round towers hovering above a horseshoe-shaped courtyard. From here, follow the colonnaded street to the 4th-century agora, and view the impressive remains of the ancient theatre, basilica and stadium.

Aspendos

Leaving Perge, your drive continues through the area's farmland en route to Aspendos. Upon arrival, a visit is made to the splendid ancient theatre, the finest of its kind in all of Anatolia. Its façade is stunning and its acoustics are unparalleled; performances are held here today without the use of microphones. In addition, see the ruins of a stadium, agora and basilica. Following your visit, proceed for an orientation drive through the Old Town before returning to the pier.
