Journey to two of Turkey's most magnificent ancient cities — Perge's colonnaded Roman streets and the astonishing 2nd-century Aspendos Theatre, one of the best-preserved in the entire Roman world. An archaeology lover's ultimate day.
What to expect
Your private guide and air-conditioned vehicle make the scenic 100km drive west through the Anatolian coastal plain to Perge, where Hellenistic gates and a Roman-era colonnaded street stretch dramatically into the distance, studded with sculpture plinths and carved inscriptions. The highlight arrives at Aspendos: step into a theatre built in 155 AD and still acoustically perfect — stand centre stage and whisper to hear yourself projected. Your guide narrates the political intrigue and architectural genius of each site. A leisurely lunch at a local family restaurant en route completes a genuinely epic cultural day.
Good to know
Full-day excursion, approximately 8–9 hours; departs 08:30. Aspendos entry ~TRY 500 (~USD 15); Perge ~TRY 500 (~USD 15). Wear comfortable walking shoes and sun protection — both sites involve extensive open-air walking. Confirm with operator that return timing suits your specific all-aboard. Book well in advance as private vehicles fill quickly on port days.
