What to expect

Delve into history at the archeological site of Perge, one of the most popular ancient sites in the Pamphylia region of southern Anatolia. More fascinating examples of sculptures from Perge will be waiting for you at the Museum of Antalya.

One of the cultural and historical treasures of Turkey, the history of Perge dates back to the 13th century BC. Over time ruled by many, Lydians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Turks, Perge reached its greatest splendor during the Roman Empire.

Saint Paul started his first missionary journey from Perge, and Alexander the Great stood at its gates. Today, Perge features Hellenistic but mostly Roman buildings and ruins, including a theatre, stadium, gates and city walls, baths, colonnaded streets, and more.

The tour continues to the Antalya Museum, where visitors can learn about the rich history of Antalya and its surroundings. The exhibition, in chronological order, starts from the Stone Age and culminates with amazing examples of Greek and Roman sculpture.

Finally, you'll explore the historic quarter of the modern city of Antalya. Surrounded by city walls, Kaleiçi or the Old Town invites visitors to discover its harbor and stroll through the narrow streets lined with boutique hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs, taverns, and shops.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Women of Antalya, Past to Present

Nearly two millennia ago, Plancia Magna blazed a trail by making an impressive impact on the city of Perge despite the usual passive role of women at that time. She was born into a wealthy, powerful family, but instead of leading the easy life of the elite, she used her privilege to benefit her city. Her courage, independence and strength of character was celebrated long after her time, and inspired women through the ages to seek influential roles in society. Your National Geographic-trained guide will reveal the ancient city of Perge with a focus on the life and legacy of Plancia Magna, an inspirational figure even today. Perhaps Plancia was a source of inspiration for Hatice Adıgüzel, whose workshop you will visit next. Discover the skills and artistry involved in creating lamps and garden ornaments from gourds, and learn from Hatice herself what sets her business apart - her leadership in a male-dominated workforce and her commitment to empowering local women. During a hands-on workshop, you will have the opportunity to create your own small decorative gourd and learn more about both the craft and Hatice's contributions to the local women's community. She pays her success forward by employing local women to decorate the gourds from their own homes and provides them with seeds to help grow the gourds for the business. This helps women who are unable to work in regular employment due to childcare commitments or similar restrictions by giving them a convenient way to earn.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Exploring Antalya's Nomadic Culture

The foothills of the Taurus mountains have been a region of travel and trade for millennia. On this tour, get a flavour of the ancient traditions still alive in the region, and visit a Yörük family to experience their nomadic lifestyle in close-up. First, see the unusual Seljuk bridge at Aspendos, whose fascinating story is represented by its zigzag formation. A bridge has spanned this section of the Köprüçay river since around the 4th century, and your guide will explain its significance. Another sign that this region has a long history of comings and goings is the 13th century Kargıhan caravanserai, with most of its original layout still in good condition. Strolling through the ancient inn's bedrooms, guardian's quarters, bathhouse and prayer hall with your guide you'll get a sense of times gone by and all the thousands of people who passed through here for a rest and refuel on their travels. Yörük people have been following the rhythms of their nomadic lifestyle for centuries. Each spring, they move their camps and flocks from the mild coastal plains to the summer pastures in the mountains. Meet a Yörük family to understand more about their low-impact lifestyle and their humble tented homes knitted with wool from their own animals. You'll also have time to explore the pretty Ottoman village of Ormana, known for its ingenious 'button houses' - built only with stone and timber. On the return journey, you will hopefully catch a glimpse of the famous wild horses of the area.
