Itinerary
Pickup from your Antalya hotel or a designated central meeting point. Meet your professional guide and depart by air-conditioned vehicle towards Pamphylia.
Dating to around 1000 BC, Perge was among Pamphylia’s most important cities. It flourished after Alexander the Great’s conquests (333 BC) and reached its peak in the Roman era—visible in its city walls, stadium, temples, and agora. In mythology, Perge is linked to Aphrodite (a temple once stood here) and to prophetic figures like Tiresias and Mopsos.
Founded in the 10th century BC, Aspendos became a wealthy and highly developed Pamphylian city. Its crown jewel is the Roman Theatre, built during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius—one of the best-preserved Roman theatres in the world—showcasing the city’s prosperity and cultural influence.
Established in the 7th century BC, Side was a major port and cultural center in Roman times. Iconic landmarks include the Temple of Apollo, the Ancient Theatre, and the Agora. In Greek mythology, Side is a cult center of Apollo and Artemis; the city name derives from a mythological figure, and it is tied to the tragic tale of Phaethon, son of Apollo.
Enjoy a rich local lunch at a pre-selected restaurant in the Side/Manavgat area. *Drinks are available at an additional cost.*
Fed by waters descending from nearby mountains into the Manavgat River, this scenic waterfall offers a refreshing natural interlude and photo stop to balance the day’s archaeology with nature.
