After meeting up with
your official Turkish guide at the cruise ship pier
you will make your way into the region of Antalya,
the focal point of the Turkish Mediterranean.
Aspendos Theatre - Aspendos is known for his best-preserved
theater of antiquity with seating for 15.000. Still
used today, the theater's galleries, stage
decorations and acoustics all testify to the
architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a
basilica, agora and one of the largest aqueducts in
Anatolia.
Perge ancient city - Originally, a Hellenistic
settlement, which later developed into a thriving
Roman city, Perge is a historicist’s delight.
Situated only 18 km from Antalya in the Pamphylion
plain, Perge has a long legacy (almost from 1500
B.C.) to narrate with its initial inhabitants being
the Hittites. Its importance also lies in the fact
that the ruins of the Roman city provides a very
complete picture of the past, thus making it
archaeologically invaluable. However, even if you
are wondering how an archaeologically fertile site
could ever interest you, you should never miss a
chance of visiting it. For Perge has much to offer
for the vacationer as well, it has a unique blend of
the exotic and the ancient.
