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 an easy life, she used her privilege to benefit her city. Her courage, independence and 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, her commitment to empowering local women and her choice of sustainable materials. During a hands-on workshop, you will have the opportunity to create your own decorative gourd and learn more about Hatice's work with the local women's community. She pays her success forward by employing women to grow and decorate the gourds from their own homes for the business. They also make the snacks you'll enjoy during the workshop. Hatice's aim is to help women who are unable to work in regular employment due to childcare commitments or similar restrictions by giving them a convenient way to earn.

Excursions & day trips

Green Canyon Boat Cruise with Lunch

The star attractions of this full day excursion are orange orchards, shopping and a beautiful, wild canyon. You'll taste fresh orange juice, enjoy a canyon boat trip and stop for a swim at Oymapinar Dam Lake. Narin, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Oymapinar Dam Lake is one of the largest reservoirs in Turkey, covering an area of approximately 19 square kilometres. The lake is fed by the Manavgat River, which flows south from the Taurus Mountains and eventually empties into the Mediterranean Sea at Side.' Your tour starts with a quick visit to a fruit garden for some freshly squeezed orange juice. We'll then call in for a spot of shopping at Dickman Textile Centre. If fashion is your thing, then you're in luck as you can enjoy a stress-free browse for clothing and accessories without the hassle of pushy salespeople. Next, we'll head for a riverside restaurant to enjoy a freshly prepared meal made with locally sourced ingredients. Afterwards it's all aboard, ready for a cruise down the canyon waterway. Spectacularly rugged rock formations tower around you and the river, in shades of turquoise and green, snakes away into the distance. It's a tranquil slice of Turkish natural beauty and the colour of the water is spellbinding. You'll cruise the canyon, admiring the views, before the boat slows - you'll be able to swim in these wild surroundings once the boat reaches the Oymapinar Lake.
