Aspendos theatre and Perge ancient city

Two of the most impressive ancient sites in the region are within easy reach of the Belek resorts. The Roman theatre at Aspendos, built in the second century, is remarkably complete, and groups can sit in the same seats as audiences did almost 2,000 years ago while the guide demonstrates the acoustics.

The second stop is Perge, an ancient city with a long colonnaded street, a stadium, Roman baths and a Hellenistic gate. The guide brings the history to life with stories about trade, games and daily life, and adapts the depth to the group's interest.

The tour runs in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat in summer, and can end with lunch in a village restaurant.
