Itinerary
Day 1
Full-day guided tour from the Antalya region visiting Perge, Aspendos, Side and Manavgat Waterfall. Moderate walking on uneven surfaces; not wheelchair accessible.
Perge Ancient City (Perge Antik Kenti)
Begin at Perge to walk the colonnaded streets, view the Roman gates and stadium, and learn about the site's Hellenistic and Roman history with your guide.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear supportive, closed shoes — paths are ancient stone and can be uneven; bring a walking stick if you use one.
- Carry sun protection and a refillable water bottle; shade is limited across the site in midday.
- There is a main entrance and small visitor area near Perge Caddesi; plan for short standing periods and brief seating breaks.
Aspendos Theatre (Aspendos Antik Tiyatrosu)
Visit the famed Roman theater at Aspendos — examine the stage, seating tiers and construction that give the site its renowned acoustics and preservation.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect multiple stone steps to access seating areas; lower rows are easiest to reach if you prefer minimal climbing.
- The theater is largely open-air; bring a hat and light rain protection depending on weather.
- There is parking and a short walk from the parking area to the theater entrance; allow time for the short ramp and steps.
Lunch at a local restaurant in Side
Lunch at a local, sit-down restaurant in Side. Time allocated for a relaxed meal with seating suitable for guests preferring minimal steps.
Tips from local experts:
- Tell the guide any dietary restrictions on pickup so the restaurant can accommodate (vegetarian, low-salt, soft-texture options).
- Request a table with easy access (ground floor, few or no steps) if mobility is a concern.
- Restroom facilities are available at most restaurants near Side’s seafront and main streets; staff can assist if needed.
Side Ancient City & Temple of Apollo
Explore Side’s archaeological area: the Temple of Apollo near the sea, the Roman amphitheater, and the narrow streets with ruins and cafes.
Tips from local experts:
- Paths near the Temple of Apollo are cobbled and may be uneven; move slowly near cliff-edge viewpoints.
- If you prefer less walking, focus on the seafront Temple of Apollo area and the nearby amphitheater which are close to each other.
- There are shaded cafés along the waterfront for rest stops and accessible seating after short walks through the ruins.
Manavgat Waterfall (Manavgat Şelalesi)
Finish with a visit to the Manavgat Waterfall. Enjoy the riverside views, short flat walks to viewing points, and nearby cafés for tea before returning.
Tips from local experts:
- The main viewpoint is a short, mostly flat walk from the parking area but surfaces can be damp and slightly slippery—wear non-slip shoes.
- Cafés by the waterfall offer shaded seating and tea; sitting for 10–15 minutes is a good rest before the return drive.
- Public paths are not wheelchair accessible in all areas; if you have limited mobility, remain on the paved viewing platforms near the main falls.
