Perge was a thriving city established in the bronze age and has been well preserved throughout all of these years. Alexander the Great once graced the city with his presence as he walked through the admirable city gate and the apostle Paul has visited on many occasions to preach here. Inside the city walls you will see an impressive tower that dominates the skyline as well as walking through the many Roman Baths.
Aspendos is mostly known for its very well-preserved amphitheatre; in fact. It is still used to this day, hosting operas, ballets and concerts annually! The stadium can hold up to 15,000 spectators and is decorated beautifully with historic charm. However, there is more to Aspendos than simply its amphitheatre. Aspendos was also once a busy town in the area and there are many remains on the hillside for you to explore and get a feel for life as it was.
Side is a walled city that looks out to sea. You will become enthralled as you make your way through the town, stumbling across many wonders as you do so until it opens into a quaint street lined with souvenir shops and coffee houses.
Manavgat waterfall is manmade and stands some 40 metres wide. The setting is particularly idyllic and will provide you with the opportunity for some postcard perfect photos.
