Perge-Aspendos-Side Tour

Many people see Antalya as a go to when they think about summer vacations because of its incredible beaches, exciting nightlife and open culture. But Antalya is also a great cultural attraction because of its thousands of years old history that is covered with Greek, Roman, Seljuk and Ottoman influence. This city has many ancient sites, which is why we try to cover more than one of them on our daily tours. Side Aspendos Day Tour is one of these culture excursions that offer you temples of gods once worshipped by whole cities, town halls that were home to our ancestors millenias ago and many more social areas which used to be just like any city we live in, but now we walk around in awe.

Side Aspendos Side Tour is family friendly and encouraged to see if you would like to know more about the people that made the roads you still walk on, the food you still eat and the city that was built for you.

We also advise you to bring a hat, sunscreen and any other items you might need for sun protection; also comfortable shoes and a camera for our Daily Tour in Antalya. Our tour will start when we pick you up from your resort at our arranged time via our vehicle, where the professional guide will already start filling you in about the cultural attractions we will visit.

After our ride, we will arrive at the ancient city of Aspendos: even though we don't know when exactly, this city was built way before 5th century B.C and around those years became the most important city in the region. This city was famous for its importance in agricultural trade and now, it’s famous for its incredibly well preserved architectural heritage. The city consists of an “agora”, theater, stadium, Roman bath, cisterns and shops. Our fluent guide will tell you about all of these in detail and answer all of your questions during your visit. And if you're lucky, you might encounter a real life event taking place in the Aspendos Antic Theatre because it is still actively being used, thousands of years later! After our time in Aspendos is over, we will stop by a local restaurant to gain our energy back and have a taste of some native Mediterranean food.

With full stomachs, we will get on the road again for our second visit of Cultural Excursion in Antalya , which is the ancient city of Side. Side’s importance comes from being a port city, which meant all the trading routes had ended up here and a cultural fusion began. This ancient city is also home to some really well preserved structures like, meters long city walls, gates, streets fixed up with beautiful columns, houses, Temple of Dionysus, Temple of Apollo, Temple of Athena, State Agora, Baptistery and an ancient theater. This port city is located next to the sea, which will allow you to take as many pictures of the great scenery as you would like.

Our last stop will be Kursunlu Waterfall. This national park is both a tourist and local favorite, since it offers its visitors the harmony of the abundant green life and the foamy pressured water. You can enjoy the songs the local birds will sing, sit at the park’s cafes and relax or take pictures of this incredible paradise so that you never forget.
After we complete our time in the national park, you will be able to cross out many things to do in Antalya in your list. We will drop you back off at your resorts and our time will come to an end.
