You step out of the minivan and the air tastes like salt and stone: sun-baked limestone, a hint of citrus from roadside groves, and the distant rush of water. A private guide opens the gate to Perge and the city’s broad, column-lined avenue stretches ahead—paved in slabs polished by centuries of feet. The day moves in clear chapters: Perge’s ruined grandeur, the thunderous calm of Aspendos’ amphitheater, and a final slow exhale at Kurşunlu Waterfall.

Start early in summer
Begin the tour at first light to avoid midday heat at Perge and Aspendos; the sites are far more comfortable and less crowded in the morning.
Wear good walking shoes
Uneven ancient paving and slippery boardwalks at the waterfall demand soles with traction and ankle support.
Carry small change
Although entrance fees and lunch are included, bring euros or Turkish lira for photos, tips, and snacks at kiosks.
Respect archaeological sites
Do not climb on ruins or sit on fragile masonry—sticking to paths helps preserve features for future visitors.

Grip and ankle support are useful for ancient pavements and the waterfall boardwalk.
