Spring Travel in Turkey | Perge Ancient City is a Must-Visit

When traveling in Antalya, Turkey, besides enjoying the sea, you certainly shouldn't miss the historical sites here. Highly recommended is the Perge Ancient City, not far from the city center. / ⭕️ 'About Perge Ancient City': Perge Ancient City was founded in the 3rd century BC, and it has experienced Greek, Roman, and Christian periods, thriving for over a thousand years. It is one of the ancient cities with a long history in the Mediterranean region. / ⭕️ 'Attractions and Activities': The ancient city is divided into two parts: the theater and the main city, separated by a road in between. ✔️ Theater: The theater of the ancient city, compared to the Aspendos Theater, is more dilapidated but still quite spectacular. You can climb up and down, and people appear very small within the entire theater. ✔️ Main City: The main city is also quite ruined, but the functional areas are still relatively complete, with churches, baths, worship sites, arenas, etc., and are well worth a visit. ✔️ Market Street: Exiting the main city, there is a small market street where local elders sell some small souvenirs. If interested, you can also take a look. / ⭕️ 'Tickets and Timing': ✔️ Ticket: 250 Lira per person, the ticket is valid for both the theater and the main city, so don't buy it repeatedly. ✔️ Timing: 08:30-17:00 / ⭕️ 'Transportation Tips': The ancient city is about 15 kilometers from the city center. You can take the urban rail T1 to 'Aksu', and after getting off, a walk of about 2.1km (half an hour) will get you there. Note that you should take the correct T1, not the one going to the airport.
