Perge,the long established city of Pamphylia region,is located 18 km. east of Antalya and 2 km. north of Aksu village.The archaeological site of Perge has been excavated systemically by İstanbul Univercity since 1946.Perge is very important from the aspect of city planning during the late classical,hellenistic and roman empire.The distinctive order of the Acropolis during the late classical systematically carried to lower city.
The theatre was actually built in the 2nd century AD,during the reign of the roman emperor Marcus Aurelius(161_180 AD),on the basis of the project created by zeno-a Greek architect born in Aspendos.The greek and latin inscriptions which are placed above the the entrances to skene building state that two brothers-Curtius Crispinus and Curtius Auspicatus dedicated this theatre ”to the gods of this country and to the imperial house”.Despite the fact that the theatre was build in the roman period,the building displays many features typical to Greek theatres.The auditorium rests in part against a hillside.Moreover,a horseshoe shape of the audotorium also is a greek feature.On the other hand,according to roman standards ,the theatre is cut of from the outside world by the skene building.Also the barrel vaulted substructure is a typical Roman idea.
Side is reached by turning south 3 km. before Manavgat on the Antalya-Alanya highway.The exact date of its founding is not known.In the language of Anatolia ”Side” means pomegranate.From inscriptions it appears that Side dates back to the Hitite period.The city was constructed on a peninsula and was a Hellenistic and Roman town,protected by city and sea walls.One’s attention is particularly drawn to the city gates and walls,as well as many remains of aquaducs which brought water from the foothills of the Taurus Mountains and the surrounding country.The old baths have been restored and turned into a museum,in which are exhibited some of the statues and art treasures found in Side.One of its most important buildings is its 15000 spectator theater.The difference between this Roman theater and other antique theaters in the region is that is not built against a hillside.Side has colonnaded streets,a triumphal arch,a harbour,baths,fountains,cisterns,aquaducs,temples and agora.

The driver who picked us up from our hotel was very friendly. His driving was good too. The tour was absolutely fine. We have seen beautiful places and can swim and sunbathe. You shouldn't expect much taste from the food, it was fine and sufficient. Hygiene was generally also good, for example the toilets were well maintained. Overall we were satisfied with this afternoon. It just took a little less time than it was planned. Hence a half-point deduction.
