Meet and greet at the hotel.

You will begin the day with the sightseeing of Perge, a reconstructed Hellenistic city which was once the capital of the province of Pamphylia of the Romans with a meticulous city plan. The great theatre, stadium and the baths are the most impressive and intact buildings of the site, yet the remnants of the massive Hellenistic - Roman gate-towers dazzle the visitors at first sight due to their splendid appearance. Apart from its significant historical value, it holds a prominent place in the Christian world since St. Paul visited the city twice with his companion St. Barnabas during his first missionary journey as mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles.

Then, take a short drive to discover the marvellous theatre of Aspendos, the best preserved one of antiquity also known for its excellent acoustics and exquisite architectural ornamentation. The Roman builder of this structure managed to express the state of ideal balance between the auditorium and the skene building. Still used for concerts and shows today, the theater enables you to imagine what it was like to attend a dramatic performance in Roman times. Have a photo stop to admire the imposing ruins of the Roman aqueducts.

Following lunch at a local river-side restaurant, drive back to Antalya and enjoy Duden Waterfall, the only waterfall that pours down into the sea in Turkey. Duden Creek creates this marvelous waterfall flowing from almost 40 meters into the sea, displaying amazing water clouds.

End your day exploring the old city district of Kaleici, rising around a splendid Roman era harbor, it offers overwhelming clifftop views and soothing ambiance through its mazy narrow streets embellished with stylish Ottoman houses extending to the 2nd - century Hadrian’s Gate.
