Perge Ancient City

It's an interesting and an atmospheric historical site in Antalya. Ancient city is really large. Historical buildings and ruins are in good condition. You can spend here few hours if you like ancient history.

Staff of the site is friendly and very helpful. They speak English. On the territory there is a toilet.

Just in case when you go to this place take with yourself cash. We had small problems with the network of the terminal so we paid by the card only after five attempts

Loved this place … it’s huge so take comfortable shoes and when sunny take water and a hat as you have lots and lots to see. Super interesting and the theatre which could host 12.000! People 🤯

Bonus: a ginger cutie which jumped on my lap and drooled all over me for happiness 🐱🐱😻😻

We came visiting this ancient city in August. I really love Turkey and appreciate this ancient city. Some restoration and excavation were still happening when we were there. This place is huge and it got pretty hot at day (make sure you bring a hat and a lot of water).

It was amazing!! Went on a day tour with a guide so he explained all the history and it was really amazing to walk through everything.

Just be weary about the time you go during the day in summer/spring as it was really hot and there is not a lot of shade.

Wow! Absolutely fabulous. The history simply drips off of the walls. Make sure you take a guided tour to get the maximum value out of the visit. You could spend a full day here but give yourself a minimum of two hours. The ruins are very extensive and you get an excellent feel for how life was in ancient times. A must see!

If you are interested in history and ancient Roman architecture, this is the place for you. A large stadium, shopping place, and monuments of Roman architecture are there. Keep a couple of hours for this. Use sunscreen and wear a cap in hot. You have restrooms and snacks / juice shops inside. Locals sell their products near the exit gate, which you can buy.

On drive of 45 minutes from our hotel in antalya lies this ancient city. The entry ticket is 200 TL per person, in which all the sites in the surrounding are included ( the theatre is on the other side of the road, so keep your ticket safe as to show for the entry to the theatre). It is a well-preserved city and quite big. In some places, they are still excavating. But ruins tell how glorious that city was. Amazing place.
Though it was quite hot, if you go in summer like us, take your hats and water to keep yourself hydrated and safe from scorching heat.

Totally amazing place could not believe how much of the old city remains today. This is must to see when in the Antalya area fascinating place with so much history and so near the city. It does get very warm and not much shade so best to get here early. We made are own way here so easy to get to and 250 tl to enter

Not pushchair-friendly but it is an amazing place to visit and see how the ancestors lived and how well-organised and skilled they were. You need a couple of hours to see all the parts of the city.

Definitely worth visiting. Walking through the stadium which is one of the best preserved in the world I could imagine the chariot races and the noise of the crowd cheering.

Great ancient city, full of history and ruins, very accessible and sufficient parking spaces. Consists of an agora, gymnasium, mosaics, old waterway, theatre and paths and other various historic buildings across the area. Nice cafe and shop too, worth a visit!

Very well preserved and an amazing day out. If you're going to visit in the summer months then go in afternoon when it's cooler, plus you will see a beautiful light in Perge at sunset.

We were among a handful of visitors on an intolerably hot August afternoon so we had the place pretty much to ourselves. There is a nice little shop on site selling usual tourist tat but also very keenly priced Sultanite jewellery. The amphitheatre is across the road and requires a separate, pricey (€10) ticket- I'd recommend skipping if you've been to the likes of Aspendos. Unlike more popular sites, there was plenty of broken pottery and other 'artefacts' strewn around the place which my 12 year old spent hours 'digging up' and kindled her interest in history/archeology. For this alone, I rate it 5*

Big and nicely preserves ancient city. Not crowded. Exhibitions found here are presented in the Antalya Archeological Museum. Entrance included on the Museum Pass Turkey.

The historical city of Perga (Greek: Πέργη) is an ancient city located 18 kilometers east of Antalya in the Aksu region. It was once the capital of Pamphylia region. During the Hellenistic period, this city was considered among the richest and most beautiful cities of the ancient world. This city is also the birthplace of the Greek mathematician Apollonius Perga. In the Hittite period, feathers were known as feathers. This historical city is unique in its kind and hundreds of statues related to this historical city are kept in Antalya Museum. One of the wonders of this historical city is the water supply system and the remains of this historical technology. Access to this historical city is easy and you can reach this historical and touristic attraction with the Antalya tram.

Amazing excavation site bringing back the ancient days. An absolute must. Whole auditorium and many other grand buildings. Never seen anything like it.

Stopped by when returning from Kurşunlu waterfall. I always enjoy visiting ancient cities and this is one of the best so far. Must to visit Antalya.

It is quite big and very hot if you walk around in summer. I liked the watch towers, baths and ancient graffiti on some of the columns. The theatre is also cool.

Really fascinating to see how things worked 3000 years ago!
I'm not much of a history buff but still found these things very amusing. A good part of the stadium and theatre are still standing. You realize how powerful our ancestors really were, even when they had nothing that we have today!

It used to be a big ancient city back then. Many things are well preserved. There’re a lot of beautiful columns everywhere. I was impressed with amphitheater, there’re stunning sculptures and it’s huge. Sometimes concerts are held there nowadays. The entrance now costs 200 lira but if you have a residence permit you can purchase museum card for 60 lira and go there for free.
