Highlights
Depart in the morning and visit Perge, the place where most of the statues that are on display in Antalya Museum were unearthed. An important city of ancient Parnphylia, originally settled by the Hittites around 1500 BC. St. Paul visited Perge on his first missionary journey. The theater stage has finely carved marble reliefs, and other carvings from around the city are displayed in the stadium. Amateur archaeologists will want to see the handsome city gate flanked by two lofty towers, a long colonnaded road once paved with mosaics and lined with shops, a large agora, the public baths and a gymnasium.

Itinerary
Drive to Perga now commonly spells Perge which was the capital city of the Pamphylia region, south western Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Today it is a large site of ancient ruins 15km east of Antalya in the coastal line. There is an acropolis located, dating back to the Bronze Age. In Perge you will see city gate, Roman Bath, Column Street, Agora and Stadium.
Next proceed to Aspendos, which bears one of the best preserved Roman theaters in Anatolia.
Side is one of the best-known classical sites in Turkey. It was an ancient harbor whose name meant pomegranate. Today a pretty resort town, its ancient ruins, two sandy beaches, numerous shops and extensive tourist accommodation attract hundreds of visitors. The magnificent theater of the ancient city, built on colonnaded arches, is the largest in the whole area. Other monuments include the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, which is situated near the sea, a fountain and Necropolis. The extensive Roman baths, now a museum, houses one of Turkey's finest archaeological collections.

About Antalya
Antalya anchors Turkey's Turquoise Coast, a sunny city of Roman gates, an old harbour quarter, waterfalls and long Mediterranean beaches.
Kaleiçi, the old quarter, winds down to a Roman harbour through lanes of Ottoman houses, small hotels and cafés. Hadrian's Gate, built in honour of the emperor's visit, marks the entrance, and the fluted Yivli Minaret is the city's emblem. Clifftop parks look across the bay to the Taurus Mountains.
