Perge, Aspendos & Side Tour — Private Tour from Antalya

The Perge, Aspendos & Side Tour brings together three of Pamphylia's greatest ancient sites in a single day. At Perge you pass through the round-towered Hellenistic gate and walk a long colonnaded main street, lined with shop foundations and a central water channel, past the agora, Roman baths and a large stadium.

Aspendos is famous for its Roman theatre, one of the best preserved in the entire Mediterranean, with its towering stage building and steep tiers of seating still largely intact. Nearby stand the remains of a tall Roman aqueduct striding across the plain.

The day finishes at Side, a small peninsula where ancient ruins meet the sea. Here you see the columns of the Temple of Apollo on the headland, the grand theatre, the old harbour and the agora, all woven into a lively resort town full of shops, cafes and beaches.

Because the Perge, Aspendos & Side Tour is private, the day is built around you. After hotel pickup you drive east toward Belek, reaching Perge first to explore its gate, colonnaded street and stadium at an easy pace.

From there you continue inland a short way to Aspendos, where you take in the great theatre and, if you wish, the aqueduct in the distance. The final stop is Side, the most relaxed part of the day, where ruins, sea views and the town blend together and many guests pause for lunch or a stroll by the water.

The order and the length of each stop are flexible. If you want longer among the ruins of Perge, extra time inside the theatre at Aspendos, or a swim and a coffee in Side, just tell your driver. Nothing is rushed, and there is no group waiting to move you along.

Your Perge, Aspendos & Side Tour is door to door. We collect you directly from your hotel anywhere in the Antalya region, from the city and Lara to Belek, Kundu, Side and beyond, and return you to the same door at the end of the day.

The drive is around 50 km and roughly 50 minutes each way, so you spend far more time at the sights than on the road. You travel in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle with a courteous English-speaking driver; multilingual drivers can be arranged on request.

Because it is fully private, only your own party shares the car. There is no waiting at other hotels, no crowded bus and no fixed group schedule, just a comfortable, direct ride with someone who knows the route and the sights, hopping easily between Perge, Aspendos and Side.

The Perge, Aspendos & Side Tour is priced per vehicle, not per person, so the whole party shares one clear fare. Prices start from €44 for a sedan suitable for up to about three guests, and from €57 for a Mercedes Vito minivan for larger families or small groups.

The price covers your private vehicle, fuel and driver for the day. Museum and site entrance fees at Perge, Aspendos and Side, lunch and personal extras are paid locally and are not included, which keeps the quote transparent.

There is no prepayment. You simply pay the driver directly, in cash or by card, and the price you are quoted is the price you pay. With no big groups and a vehicle reserved just for you, the day stays private, calm and easy from start to finish.

Plan for a comfortable full or half day, as the three sites lie close together just east of Antalya and the driving is short. Comfortable shoes help at Perge and Aspendos, where the ground is stony and uneven, and a hat, sunscreen and water are wise in the warmer months.

The ancient sites offer little shade, so an earlier start in summer lets you enjoy them before the midday heat; spring and autumn are especially pleasant. If you would like to swim or relax on the beach at Side, bring a swimsuit and a towel.

Carry some cash for entrance tickets and refreshments along the way. The Perge, Aspendos & Side Tour suits families and older travellers well; with your own private car you can keep children close, store bags in the boot and break the day whenever you need.
