Perge, Aspendos & Kursunlu Waterfall Tour

Hotel Pick-Up

Start your day with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Antalya. Meet your professional local guide and set out on a scenic drive through the countryside toward your first destination — the ancient city of Perge.

Perge Ancient City

Begin exploring Perge (Perga), one of the most impressive archaeological sites in the Pamphylia region. Once the capital of ancient Pamphylia, Perge flourished under Roman rule beginning in 133 BC.

Walk among well-preserved ruins that showcase Roman urban design, including:

  • The Hellenistic Gate – Once the grand entrance to the city

  • Roman Baths – Examples of advanced engineering and luxury of the era

  • Agora (Marketplace) – The bustling commercial heart of the city

  • Colonnaded Streets – Once lined with shops and fountains

  • Nymphaeum (Fountain Monument) – Dedicated to the water nymphs

  • The Stadium and Theatre – Holding up to 15,000 spectators

Your guide will share fascinating stories of how Perge became a cultural hub and later played a role in early Christianity.

Aspendos Ancient Theatre

Next, drive to Aspendos, a world-renowned archaeological site famous for its magnificently preserved Roman theater.
Built in the 2nd century AD during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, this ancient masterpiece could hold over 20,000 people and is still used today for concerts and festivals due to its remarkable acoustics.

Stroll around the vast structure, admire the architectural precision, and imagine the roaring applause that once filled the amphitheater. You’ll also explore the remains of the Basilica, Aqueduct, and Roman Stadium that surround the site.

Lunch by the River

After exploring the ancient sites, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local riverside restaurant, where you can relax and taste authentic Mediterranean cuisine — including grilled meats, mezes, and fresh salads — while surrounded by natural beauty.

Side Ancient City (Optional Stop)

Depending on timing and your tour preference, you may also visit Side, an ancient harbor city known for its Temple of Apollo, Roman Baths, and Hellenistic Theater.
Walk through marble streets that once hosted traders, sailors, and philosophers while taking in stunning views of the sea.

Kursunlu Waterfall

Conclude your journey at the tranquil Kursunlu Waterfall, nestled within a lush pine forest about 20 km from Antalya.
The waterfall cascades 18 meters into a turquoise pool, creating a peaceful oasis. Stroll through shaded trails, breathe in the fresh pine-scented air, and enjoy the soothing sound of falling water.
This picturesque setting is the perfect finale to your day — ideal for photos and quiet reflection before returning to Antalya.

Return to Hotel

After your visit, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel, ending a day full of discovery and natural wonder.
