What to expect

Delve into history at the archeological site of Perge, one of the most popular ancient sites in the Pamphylia region of southern Anatolia. More fascinating examples of sculptures from Perge will be waiting for you at the Museum of Antalya.

One of the cultural and historical treasures of Turkey, the history of Perge dates back to the 13th century BC. Over time ruled by many, Lydians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Turks, Perge reached its greatest splendor during the Roman Empire.

Saint Paul started his first missionary journey from Perge, and Alexander the Great stood at its gates. Today, Perge features Hellenistic but mostly Roman buildings and ruins, including a theatre, stadium, gates and city walls, baths, colonnaded streets, and more.

The tour continues to the Antalya Museum, where visitors can learn about the rich history of Antalya and its surroundings. The exhibition, in chronological order, starts from the Stone Age and culminates with amazing examples of Greek and Roman sculpture.

Finally, you'll explore the historic quarter of the modern city of Antalya. Surrounded by city walls, Kaleiçi or the Old Town invites visitors to discover its harbor and stroll through the narrow streets lined with boutique hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs, taverns, and shops.

While the former bathhouse is now a museum with a small but impressive collection of artefacts dug up here.But one of the most-photographed spots is the Temple of Apollo. Legend says that this second-century seafront shrine was a gift from Antony to Cleopatra. And just beside it is the Temple of Athena – zoom in on the frieze of Medusa heads. Once you've explored the ruins, there'll be free time in modern Side to buy a sizzling kebab at one of the street stalls, or haggle for bargains in the backstreet bazaars.
