What you'll see and do
Perge Antik Kenti
Welcome to our jewels of Mediterranean heritage tour in Antalya district. Our full day excursion is dedicated to top three important landmarks of Eastern Mediterranean region. Our first stop is Perge, The ancient city of Perge near today's Antalya was founded in about 1000 BC and then captured by the Persians, and by the armies of Alexander the Great about 333 BC before it became a part of the Seleucid Kingdom. Then in 188 BC the Romans arrived. The majority of places you can see today have been built, including a theatre that holds 15 000 people, a public square, a gymnasium and a necropolis. The ruins of Roman baths, the imposing gates of the town and a nymphaeum from the 2nd century AD can also be found there. Thirteen ancient images, including the only complete sculpture by Emperor Caracalla, a 6 ft display by moon Goddess Selene and goddesses Aphrodite, Némesis, Athena and Tykhe, have been discovered during recent excavations in Perge. A magnificent ancient city to be discovered.

Aspendos Ruins
Our next stop is another marvel of the Mediterranean Region, Aspendos Ancient City. The Hittites first wrote about Aspendos Roman Theater in the year 800 BC. Aspendos is the best preserved ancient theater in the world, so it's no surprise that it still acts as a major destination for concerts today. Legend has it that the city's ruler organized a competition for who could build the greatest structure that would bring the city prosperity and joy, with the prize being the leader's famously beautiful daughter's hand in marriage. The first architect constructed the stunning aqueducts which provided water for the whole city. Overjoyed, the leader pledged his daughter to him but when sitting in the theater built by the second architect he heard a whisper, “choose the theater-builder.” He looked up, and there on the stage was the architect Zenon, who’d built a theater where even whispers from stage sounded like they were from the gods. Zenon won the competition. Hear the rest story from us.

Side Antik Kenti
Ancient Side welcomes visitors through the Main Gate located between two towers, directly opposite the monumental fountain, of the insurmountable town walls. The Main Gate dates from the 2nd century. It was also used for ceremonial processions along with the shaped horse shoe. The monumental well overlooking the gate was built in the second century, with three wide arches and a basin. It is Anatolia 's largest old fountain. Originally the structure had three floors and was decorated with marble coverings and reliefs, but currently only one level stands and some decorations can be seen from the swimming pool. The river Manavgat used to supply water to the well with aqueducts, splendid examples of the human naivety of nature. Aqueduct sections remain to be seen. After Side we shall take you back to your hotel or to the airport for your dometic or internation frlight from Antalya.

Amazing experience
Tad bit expensive but you get a private van, admission to all the ruins, lunch and finally an exceptional guide. Our guide Ms. Bayhen was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and she went out of the way to explain the history and shared a lot of cool stories about the ruins.

Antalya's Archaeological Treasures Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antalya.
How much does Antalya's Archaeological Treasures Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $603 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antalya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Antalya's Archaeological Treasures Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Antalya is not rushed.
Is Antalya's Archaeological Treasures Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antalya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Antalya's Archaeological Treasures Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Antalya's Archaeological Treasures Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Antalya's Archaeological Treasures Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Antalya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Antalya and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Antalya's Archaeological Treasures Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Antalya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Antalya?
+
On Outty we rank every Antalya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Tour of Pamukkale from Antalya with Lunch, Antalya Excursion to Perge, Aspendos, side, Manavgat waterfall, Antalya City Tour With Duden Waterfalls & Old Town Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Antalya?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Antalya?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
