The itinerary

Day 01

Explore the Ancient City of Side

After pickup from your hotel in Side, proceed to the ancient city and visit the amphitheatre. It dates back to the 2nd century A.D. and is said to have been a gift from Anthony to Cleopatra as a token of his love for her. The site has a large, well-preserved ruin area, including the Amphitheater, the Temple of Apollo, and the Necropolis.

Day 02

Visit the Ancient Theatre of Aspendos

Continue to the world-famous ancient Greco-Roman amphitheatre of Aspendos, dating back to the 2nd century A.D. It is one of the best-preserved theatres of antiquity, with a seating capacity of 15,000. The theatre is still in use today, and some performances, operas, and ballets have taken place here thanks to its remarkable acoustics.

Day 03

See Manavgat Waterfall

Visit Manavgat Waterfall, where white foaming water rushes over the rocks. Although it is not high, the powerful and refreshing nature of the water makes it a memorable natural stop. After the visit, drop-off at the hotels.
