Antalya, known as the pearl of the Mediterranean, is not just a paradise of sun, sea, and sand but also a treasure trove of ancient history and natural beauty. Our Antalya Historical and Ancient City Tour takes you on a fascinating journey through time, exploring some of the region’s most iconic landmarks. From the grandeur of Perge to the serene beauty of Kurşunlu Waterfall, this tour offers an unforgettable experience for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
Our journey begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel. After a comfortable 45-minute drive in our air-conditioned bus, we arrive at the ancient city of Perge. Known for its well-preserved ruins and rich history, Perge was once a bustling Roman city and an important stop on the Silk Road.
Accompanied by our knowledgeable guide, you will spend approximately 1.5 hours exploring the city’s remarkable landmarks. Walk along the ancient colonnaded streets, marvel at the grand Roman baths, and capture stunning photos of the monumental city gate. The guide’s insightful commentary brings the history of this ancient metropolis to life, making it a truly immersive experience.
From Perge, we continue our journey to the picturesque town of Side, where we enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. The lunch menu features a variety of Turkish dishes to suit every palate, providing a perfect break before our next exploration.
Side’s charm lies in its unique blend of ancient ruins and a vibrant coastal atmosphere. Our guided tour takes you through the town’s narrow streets to the iconic Apollo Temple, an ancient structure overlooking the sea. The temple’s majestic columns, set against the backdrop of the shimmering Mediterranean, offer a perfect photo opportunity. Side’s ancient theater, agora, and Roman baths are other highlights you can explore during this visit.
After exploring Side, we embark on a short 20-minute drive to the tranquil Kurşunlu Waterfall. Nestled in a lush green forest, this hidden gem provides a refreshing change of pace from the historical sites. You’ll have about 45 minutes to wander the scenic pathways, listen to the soothing sound of cascading water, and take spectacular photos of the waterfall surrounded by rich vegetation.
Kurşunlu’s serene environment makes it an ideal spot for relaxation, allowing you to reconnect with nature before we move on to the final highlight of our tour.
Our last stop is the world-renowned Aspendos Theater, a masterpiece of Roman engineering and one of the best-preserved ancient theaters in the world. Aspendos, built in the 2nd century AD, still stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Roman Empire.
As you step into the theater, you’ll be awestruck by its grandeur and acoustics, which remain unmatched even today. The guide will share fascinating stories about Aspendos, its history, and its role in ancient times. Visitors can climb the seating tiers for panoramic views and imagine the grand performances that once entertained thousands.
After a day filled with exploration, history, and natural beauty, we begin our return journey to Antalya. The comfortable drive allows you to relax and reflect on the day’s adventures. Upon arrival, you’ll be dropped off at your hotel, bringing this unforgettable experience to a close.
