Cool historical site. Not more than a 30 minute ish stop but you get a real sense of what it was…read morelike to be in the theatre hundreds of years ago. Infrastructure is in really good shape relative to other ruins in area. Admission included in Museum Turkey pass. A bit of a hike from Antalya so probably only worth it if driving in area.

Aspendos was pretty cool, its one of the largest free standing theaters, there are some that are…read morelarger, but they are built into the side of the mountain side. The theater at Aspendos is very well preserved, considering it is rumored to be built in 1000 BC! That in itself is amazing to me that a structure of this magnitude is still standing at all, let alone preserved so well that every so often they still hold special events there as you can see from other peoples pics. Guess its true what they say, they don't build em like they used to! It's was really nice to see but there wasn't too much more that just the theater itself. There are people there dressed as gladiators to sell photos which was pretty cool if you're the type that gets caught up in the moment or just want a fun pic to remember that part your trip. I had visited other theaters on my trip, so i guess i didn't find this one too special, just more well preserved than some others. My advice... If you've seen a large ancient theater, i think you could skip this one. If you've only seen ruins but not a theater then make it a point to see this one.

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.
