Introduction / Tour Overview

Take a step back in time and connect with nature on a full-day Perge, Aspendos and Kurşunlu Waterfall tour from Side, designed for travelers who want to explore both ancient civilizations and stunning landscapes in one memorable journey.

Your day begins with a hotel pickup from Side and nearby areas such as Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Sorgun and Titreyengöl. A professional guide will accompany you throughout the tour, providing historical insight, navigation, and assistance along the way.

The first destination is Perge Ancient City, one of the most important Greco-Roman archaeological sites in the region. Known for its exceptionally preserved stadium, Roman baths, colonnaded streets, and agora, Perge offers a vivid glimpse into life nearly 2,000 years ago. With detailed commentary from your guide, the silent ruins turn into a storybook of legends and real lives from antiquity.

Next, you'll visit Aspendos, home to one of the best-preserved Roman theaters in the world. Still in use for operas and performances today, this structure is famous for its perfect acoustics and grand architecture. As you sit inside, it’s easy to imagine the roaring crowds of centuries past.

After a rich dose of history, it's time to relax and recharge with a traditional lunch at a local restaurant, typically featuring grilled meat or chicken, rice, salad, and bread.

The final stop of the day is the peaceful Kurşunlu Waterfall, located in a shaded forest area. You’ll follow scenic walking trails past lush vegetation and tranquil streams, ending at the waterfall’s cool spray — a perfect setting for photos or simply unwinding before the ride back.

Please note: Entrance fees to Perge, Aspendos, and Kurşunlu are not included and must be paid separately at the gates in Turkish Lira or by card.
