More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air-conditioned van into a sunlit Anatolian plain where columns and stone stairways lean toward the sky. Dust lifts from the path as the guide points down a long Roman avenue at Perge; voices echo inside Aspendos’ cavernous theater; water hisses at Manavgat; and the Apollo temple at Side watches over a mosaic of fishing boats. The day unfolds like a condensed sweep through antiquity and natural power.
