Overview

Step back in time on this full-day journey through the rich classical heritage of southern Türkiye, where ancient cities, monumental architecture, and remarkable museum collections bring the past vividly to life.

Your tour begins in the magnificent ancient city of Perge, once a flourishing Roman metropolis of the Pamphylia region. Walking along its colonnaded streets, you’ll discover an impressive stadium that once held thousands of spectators, vast Roman baths, and the striking Hellenistic gate that welcomed travelers centuries ago. The scale and preservation of Perge offer a powerful glimpse into daily life during the height of the Roman Empire, from athletics and politics to commerce and social gatherings.

From Perge, you’ll continue to the legendary city of Aspendos, renowned for its extraordinarily preserved Roman theatre. Built in the 2nd century AD, this architectural masterpiece is considered one of the finest surviving theatres of antiquity. With its towering stage building and remarkable acoustics, Aspendos remains in use today, hosting performances during the annual Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival and other cultural events in the region. Standing within this grand arena, you can easily imagine the roar of ancient crowds and the drama of performances from nearly two millennia ago.

Midday, you’ll pause for lunch at a traditional local restaurant, where you can relax and enjoy regional Turkish cuisine in an authentic setting.

In the afternoon, your journey continues to the heart of the region, Antalya, home to the outstanding Antalya Archaeological Museum. Recently renovated, the museum houses one of Türkiye’s most important collections of classical antiquities. Here, you’ll admire exquisite Roman sculptures, intricate sarcophagi, mosaics, and artifacts unearthed from Perge and surrounding sites. Among the highlights is a celebrated Roman relief that was returned to Türkiye after being illegally smuggled abroad, now proudly displayed as part of the museum’s remarkable collection.

After an enriching day immersed in history, architecture, and art, your guide will escort you comfortably back to the port, ensuring you arrive in time to rejoin your ship — carrying with you unforgettable impressions of Pamphylia’s ancient splendor.
