Walk Roman streets and hear the hush of an intact amphitheater, then let a mountain-fed river blow the dust from your hair. This full-day tour from Antalya pairs archaeological highlights—Perge and Aspendos—with the spray and green of Manavgat waterfalls.

The minivan eases out of Antalya before sunrise and the Mediterranean light pulls the limestone landscape into focus. Citrus orchards slip by, then a ribbon of road unrolls toward stones that have kept their shape for millennia. Your first stop is Perge: a long, columned artery of a city where marble still remembers the footfalls of traders and Roman legionaries. Columns lean like old friends; a theater stage still carries carved reliefs that throw small, unexpected shadows.
