Two of Turkey's most spectacular Greco-Roman cities in a single private day — the colonnaded boulevards of Perge and the near-perfectly preserved 15,000-seat theatre at Aspendos. This double-bill is a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with the ancient world.
What to expect
Drive east along the turquoise coast to Perge (TripAdvisor 4.6, rated one of Turkey's finest ancient sites), where a Roman triumphal gate, 1,200-metre colonnaded main street, vast baths complex, and a stadium seating 12,000 await. Your guide brings the agora back to life with vivid storytelling. After lunch, continue to Aspendos, whose theatre is so intact it still hosts the International Opera & Ballet Festival — standing on its stage is genuinely spine-tingling. The return drive skirts the Köprülü Canyon for stunning mountain views.
Good to know
Both sites are 40–55 km from the cruise port; a private vehicle is essential and included with GoAntalya. Full-day tours depart at 09:00 and return by 17:00 — confirm your ship's all-aboard time. Sun protection and sturdy footwear are vital; sites involve significant walking on uneven ancient stone.
