Is a visit to the Aspendos Theatre worthwhile?
Very much so; it ranks among the top sights on the entire Turkish coast. Dating from the 2nd century AD, the theatre is remarkably intact, with the stage building and the seats still in place, and performances are still held there now. Sitting in the seats, you can really imagine how a Roman crowd felt.

Do you pay entry fees separately?
Yes. The price does not cover entry to the archaeological sites and attractions; you pay at each one. Carry a card or cash, and ask us for the current fees before your trip if you would like them.
What is the best season?
Spring and autumn work best, since Perge and Aspendos are open-air sites with little shade. In summer, wear a hat and carry lots of water; the waterfall at the end of the day makes a welcome pause. In winter the coast is mild and the sites are quiet.
What should you pack?
Good walking shoes for the uneven old paving, a hat, sun cream and water, and money for the entry fees. A light layer helps in the air-conditioned vehicle.
How do you reserve?
Pick a date on this page and submit the form, or send us your Antalya hotel on WhatsApp. Your seat and pick-up time are confirmed in writing, and payment is due only after confirmation. To browse further, see our tours in Antalya and Turkey packages.
