Aspendos, Perge, Side & Kurşunlu — Four Sites, One Best-Value Day

Four of the best ancient sites in the Antalya region, one day, one price. You start at Kurşunlu Waterfall — a canyon park where the river drops through a series of falls into a green pool — then move to Perge, the colonnaded Roman city where Alexander the Great walked through the same gate you walk through today. The columns are still standing, the street plan is still readable, and the scale of a working Roman city is easier to grasp here than at most sites in Türkiye. After Perge you drive to Aspendos, which has the best-preserved Roman theatre in the world. Your guide does an acoustic demonstration inside — a whisper from the stage reaches the back row of 15,000 seats — and the effect is genuinely striking every time. The theatre was built in 155 AD and it still hosts performances today. A set-menu lunch is included between the sites. The afternoon finishes at Side, where a 2nd-century Temple of Apollo sits on a waterfront promontory with the sea on three sides. It photographs well at any time of day and the village around it has decent shops if anyone wants a post-tour browse. Back at your hotel by early evening. Everything is included: entrance fees, lunch, transfers, guide. Best-value archaeology day in Antalya.
