Perge, Aspendos & Side Ancient Ruins Tour

Step back into the Roman Empire on a Perge, Aspendos & Side Ancient Ruins Tour — a full-day private archaeological journey through three of the Mediterranean's most remarkable ancient sites, all within easy reach of Antalya. This is the definitive history tour of the Turkish Riviera, combining a great Roman city, the finest theatre in the ancient world, and a seaside temple that glows at sunset.

Your day begins at Perge — one of the best-preserved ancient cities in Turkey, where a grand Roman stadium, colonnaded streets, bath complexes, and the monumental Hellenistic gate reveal the wealth of Pamphylia. Walk in the footsteps of traders and athletes who once filled these streets two thousand years ago, with your licensed guide bringing every column and inscription to life.

Continue to Aspendos, home to the most complete Roman theatre surviving anywhere in the world — a masterpiece of engineering with perfect acoustics that still hosts opera and ballet performances today. Stand on the stage and speak to the upper tiers — your voice carries as clearly as it did when 15,000 spectators filled the seats for gladiatorial games and theatrical performances.

The afternoon brings you to Side — a charming peninsula where the Temple of Apollo rises dramatically at the water's edge, surrounded by ancient ruins, sandy beaches, and a lively old town of shops and restaurants. Explore the agora, theatre, and harbour as the Mediterranean sun turns the ancient stones gold.

Ideal for history enthusiasts, couples, families, and first-time visitors to Turkey, this private archaeological tour delivers expert commentary, flexible pacing, and premium transport across three UNESCO-calibre sites in a single unforgettable day.
