Perge, Aspendos & Side Day Tour from Antalya with Lunch

Perge, Aspendos and Side day tour from Antalya: the key facts

This is a full-day guided group tour from central Antalya to three ancient sites east of the city. At Perge you see the baths, the city gate and the agora, which show how a Roman town was laid out. At Aspendos you visit the Roman theatre, which is still used for performances. At Side you walk among the seaside nymphaeum and temple ruins. Lunch at a local restaurant is included, and the last stop of the day is the Lower Duden Waterfall before you are taken back to your hotel.

It suits travellers based in Antalya who want to see the main Roman sites of the region in one day with a licensed guide, without hiring a car. The price is from $81 per person.

What does the day look like?

You are collected around 08:00 and the order of visits on the page is Perge, Aspendos, Side, then the Lower Duden Waterfall, with lunch at a local restaurant during the day. The page gives no time at each site, so ask your guide on the day how long you have at each stop. The booking form offers start times from 08:00 to 14:00 and marks 09:00 as "suggested", which does not match a 08:00 start for a ten-hour day. Go by the pick-up time we confirm in writing after you book.

What will we see at each site?

Perge is the planned Roman town: walk through the gate, along the main street and into the baths and agora. Aspendos is mainly about the Roman theatre, which is still in use for performances today. Side lies right on the coast, and its temple ruins stand by the water. Read about two of them in more detail on our Aspendos Theatre and Side Ancient City pages, and see the wider area on the Antalya destination guide.

Which hotels are included for pick-up?

Pick-up and drop-off are included from central Antalya hotels. The page does not draw the line, so if you are staying in Lara, Konyaalti, Belek, Kemer or another resort outside the centre, give us your hotel name before booking and we will tell you whether it is covered or quote the extra transfer. Put the answer in writing with the rest of your booking.

How hard is the walking, and what should we wear?

The walking is easy to moderate but spread across three sites with uneven stone paving, steps in the theatre and some open ground with little shade. Wear comfortable closed shoes, light clothes, a hat and sun cream, and carry water, especially from late spring to early autumn. A light layer is useful for the air-conditioned vehicle. At the waterfall the ground near the viewpoints can be wet.

Which language will the guide speak?

The page says the guide can speak English, Spanish or Italian and that the price may vary depending on the language you choose. No price difference is shown, so if you need Spanish or Italian, ask when you book and get the language and final price confirmed in writing.

Is this the same as the tour that includes Manavgat Waterfall?

No, they are separate listings. This tour ends at the Lower Duden Waterfall near Antalya. We also list a Perge, Aspendos, Side and Manavgat Waterfall tour from Antalya with its own price and length. The FAQ on this page also compares it with the Antalya Old City tour using euro prices (from €46) that do not match the dollar prices shown elsewhere, so ignore those figures and go by the quote we send you. If you want the city itself, see the Antalya Old City tour.

What else can we combine with this day in Antalya?

Many guests pair it with a boat or coast day. The Demre, Myra and Kekova sunken city tour adds Lycian sites to the west, and the rafting, zipline and jeep safari combo is an active day in the mountains. A full list is on our Antalya tours page. Each is a separate booking, so tell us your dates and we will confirm them together.
