The day’s exploration begins with a visit to the Greco-Roman amphitheatre of Aspendos. This site dates back to 2AD and is one of the best preserved amphitheatres in the Mediterranean. In fact it is still in use today, with a capacity of 15,000. Operas, ballets and many more performances take place here during the summer months.
Our second stop is the city of Side which used to be a Roman port. Side is now a modern town but there are still many old Roman ruins dotted around. Again dating back to 2AD the town was a gift from Anthony to Cleopatra, representing his love for her. The local bazaar at Side is a fantastic place full of bustling life and is a great stop to do some souvenir and present shopping. Don’t worry you will have penty of time to spend some holiday money.
Our final destination on this 3 in 1 adventure is the Manavget river and in particular its stunning waterfalls. Did you know that this is one of the most photographed spots in the whole of Turkey? The Manavget falls are not high but the water is very powerful. White foam rushes over the rocks and cascades down through the rapids. It’s a wonderful sight and can be enjoyed at a charming tea house located right by the falls. This is also the spot where we’ll enjoy a nice local lunch (also included in the price).
