Antalya
Perge is an ancient city in the Aksu district of Antalya, about 17 km east of the city centre. Finds from the acropolis show settlement since the Early Bronze Age. The city flourished under Roman rule, especially in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. Perge has been on UNESCO's tentative World Heritage list since 2009.
Visitors enter near the theatre and the stadium, which stand outside the city walls. Inside, the two round Hellenistic towers of the 3rd century BC flank the old city gate. Beyond them a colonnaded main street runs north, with a water channel along its centre. The agora, the southern baths and several monumental fountains line the route. Many statues from the site are on display in the Antalya Museum.
The entrance and ticket office are on Perge Caddesi. The site has a café, a shop and toilets. The ancient paving is uneven, and there is little shade. Check current opening hours before you go.
