Immerse yourself in the rich stories of this mesmerizing region, where ancient ruins and architectural wonders await. Your adventure begins as you travel to Perge, the heart of ancient Pamphylia. Walk in the footsteps of St. Paul, who preached here during his missionary journeys. Marvel at the fine examples of Persian architecture and explore the well-preserved ruins that offer a glimpse into the city's historical significance. Here you'll find imposing Hellenistic gates, a 2nd century 12,000 seat Roman stadium, and extensive Roman baths complete with furnaces under the floor that heated the waters. Once in Aspendos, you'll be captivated by one of the world's finest-preserved ancient theaters, built at the command of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. This remarkable venue, large enough to accommodate thousands of spectators, still hosts performances and festivals today. From the galleries to the stage decorations, every detail reflects the architect's brilliance. Aspendos also boasts awe-inspiring Roman aqueducts that brought water to the city from mountains 15km away. The aqueducts here are famous for their unique inverted siphon systems that were split among 3 bridges, a remarkable engineering feat.
