Aspendos: The Best-Preserved Roman Theatre
Located just 45 km from Antalya, Aspendos is home to one of the world’s most well-preserved Roman theaters.Designed by Greek architect Zenon in 155 A.D. during the reign of Marcus Aurelius (161-180 A.D.), this spectacular theater is famous for its exceptional acoustics. Even today, it hosts the annual Aspendos Opera and Ballet Festival, held in September. A visit to Aspendos is a must for history enthusiasts and architecture lovers alike.
Side: The Ancient Harbor City
Situated 60 km from Antalya, Side (meaning "pomegranate" in the ancient local language) was a thriving harbor city and a major center for Mediterranean trade, especially slaves. Established in the 7th century BC, Side boasts impressive Roman ruins, including a unique theater built entirely on arches—unlike other theaters that relied on natural hillsides. Don’t miss the iconic Temple of Apollo and the charming harbor, which offer breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Perge: The Capital of Pamphylia

Founded in the 2nd century B.C., it was the capital of Pamphylia, an important region of antiquity. Perge is home to impressive ruins, including a large theater, a palaestra (ancient sports complex), the Temple of Artemis, and two historic churches. A walk through Perge feels like an open-air museum showcasing ancient Roman architecture.
Manavgat Waterfall :A Natural Wonder
Located approximately 60 km from Antalya, the Manavgat Waterfall is one of the region’s most picturesque natural attractions. Though only about 5 meters high, its powerful water flow creates a mesmerizing view, making it one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the Antalya region.
