Pay a visit, it's worth it, weather you are a history buff or not. Not to mention the tickets are very affordable...a steal if you ask me. Stand in the middle or take the stairs to the top and marvel...let your imagination run wild and picture yourself in the ancient world. Possibly one of the few functional theaters of the ancient world... "The Best Preserved Roman Theatre In Turkey Antalya, Turkey's tourism capital, is renowned not only for its natural beauty and stunning beaches but also for its ancient cities. Aspendos, one of the many ancient cities scattered throughout the city, is the most well-known. Its theatre is particularly popular due to its historical significance. Aspendos Theatre is one of the best-preserved Roman theatres in Turkey and the world. It has perfect acoustics and continues to host concerts and performances, including the Aspendos Opera and Ballet Festival held every summer." - https://muze.gov.tr/muze-detay?sectionId=ASP01&distId=ASP Ture that... Possibly the best ancient "Theater" I've been to. I mean this structure still hosts shows till this day! Thousands of years after its construction! Incredible!! "The Aspendos theatre is the best-preserved monument of its type from the Ancient World in Turkey, and one of the most intact in the world. The theatre of Aspendos is one of the rare examples of a Roman theatre, constructed as a whole with the combination of a multi-storied and richly decorated stage building and a semi circular shaped cavea. The level of preservation was mostly due to the Seljuk restoration of the 13th century, during the time of Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat. The restoration and reuse of the building as a palace have left important but subtle traces including geometric designs and blue-coloured tiles. Therefore the theatre not only gives the spectator endless inspiration to delve into the history, but also presents an opportunity to read the multi-layered architectural interventions in a critical manner; thus the monument invites the contemporary visitor or expert to become actively engaged in picturing the theatre"s use and critically questioning it based on the existing evidence." - https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/6036/ This place is surreal! It's so well preserved!

Listen, if you came to Antalya for the beaches and the blue water, congrats, you and every other…read moresun-chasing tourist with an Instagram filter. But Antalya has more, a dramatic waterfall so we got mountains, the beach & a waterfall. I think I'm gonna become a resident. First of all, imagine a waterfall so extra it doesn't just fall into a river like a normal, emotionally stable waterfall. No. Duden dumps itself off a cliff straight into the Mediterranean like it's quitting a job it hated. So take that.

Düden Şelalesi or Düden Waterfalls are two waterfalls sprouting of the Düden River in Antalya. This…read morereview is for the lower Düden falls. Lower and Upper Düden; very different views... Apparently the falls are surrounded with a bit of history as well. As with almost every place in Turkey Düden Şelalesi was crowded with both local and visiting tourists. While I didn't think the waterfalls were spectacular or breathtaking, I thought it was worth the visit. The scenery was lovely, I just wish it wasn't so hot when we went. Also a heads up...the path down the stairs on the right side after entrance can be a bit arduous and challenging for families with elders and extremely young ones. "Düden Waterfall is located in Kepez district of Antalya. In various sources, it is also referred to as Alexander Waterfall and . It is known as the Düdenbaşı Waterfall among the people." - https://www.kulturportali.gov.tr/turkiye/antalya/gezilecekyer/duden-selalesi [using Google Translate] Additional information; "Düden Waterfall is located in the center of Antalya, within the borders of Kepez District, in the Varsak District. It is also called the Upper Düden Waterfall. There are also those who call it Düdenbaşı Waterfall among the people. Even on days when no water flows from the surface, at least 10 m3 of water per second comes to the surface under the Düden Waterfall. The flow rate of this water was measured as 94 m3 at most and 15-16 m3 per second on average." - https://dudenselalesi.com/en/index-en/#weglot_switcher

Termessos is one of the best preserved of the ancient Greek cities in Anatolia, modern day Turkey…read more The ancient city was founded by the Solims who lived in the Psidia Region...Little is known of this city except for a few mentions during Alexander the Great's conquest...and he couldn't conquer it...the boy left shaking his head calling it the Eagle's nest. Okay, I'm a bit of a history buff and I get all giddy as a school child when I embark on adventures to discover ancient ruins. This place is epic and has simply survived through the centuries of natural destruction and vandalism. It's probably more preserved than any other ancient Greek ruins in Greece. A must visit. The necropolis is eerie and exudes a strange but spiritual Aura. You can enjoy the view from the top or from the edge of the Amphitheatre. It's worth the visit if you're ever in Turkey. Best of all it's only a few kilometers from the beautiful coastal city of Antalya.
