About this itinerary

Start at Perge and look at how the colonnaded streets and public buildings relate to each other. Give selected areas and breaks enough time instead of rushing across the entire site.

Continue to Aspendos and prioritise a close look at the theatre. Decide whether to extend your walk into the city area according to the sections open and your own pace. We suggest enjoying these two stops rather than adding another distant archaeological site.

Transport plan

Transfers between stops are planned by car; walking is needed within the sites. Arrange a vehicle or transfer in advance. A continuous public-transport connection between the entrances is not assumed. Check live travel time in Google Maps and allow separately for reaching the first stop and returning from the last.

Visiting tips

The 6–8 hour range is an editorial allowance for two visits, travel and breaks. Bring water and sun protection. Around seasonal changes, do not fix admission times until current hours are confirmed; see the stop notices below. Do not assume an Aspendos performance ticket includes archaeological-site admission.
