You step off the minivan into hot Anatolian light and a chorus of stones — columns, theatre tiers and broken pedestals — each surface holding the heat of 2,000 years. This private day tour threads together Perge’s ruined colonnades, the astonishing acoustics of Aspendos’ Roman theatre, the seaside ruins of Side and the spray of Manavgat waterfall, so the day moves from archaeology to river mist.
