After breakfast depart to Antalya (a 30-minute drive).

PERGE: According to the geographer Strabon, Perge has been founded by Akhas who came down here after the Trojan War.

Perge was first mentioned in 334 BC when Alexander the Great passed through here. In the following years, Perge went under the control of Pergamon when the Kingdom of Pergamon became a part of the Roman city.

Especially in the first and the second centuries BC, Perge became one of the richest towns in Pamphylia.

Therefore, it is not a surprise that St. Paul started his campaign in Anatolia from Perge in 46 AD. The people of Perge loved and respected their Artemis to such an extent that Christianity had to wait for another 400 years to enter here. In the Byzantine period, Perge was the seat of the bishop.

Even though Arabs raided Perge in the 7th century AD, when Seljuk Turks settled the area, records show the existence of an older race living here.

After the tour, we depart for Aspendos. Lunch break on the way.

ASPENDOS: The eastern land of Antalya was called Pamphylia in ancient times.

The Toros Daglari (Taurus Mountains) forms a beautiful backdrop to the fertile coast, rich with fields of cotton and vegetables.

Aspendos (Belkis) lies 47 km east of Antalya in the Pamphylian plain.

In 486 BC, Greeks and Persians had a great battle here (Greeks won but they didn't stay for long).

During the reign of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (161-80 AD)

Aspendos got its theatre, which is the best-preserved of all.

It was built by Romans and maintained by Byzantines and Seljuk's.

The ruins of the ancient city are extensive and include a stadium, an agora, and a basilica. Overnight in Antalya.
