About this experience
My tour will show you that coastal Turkey is not just about beach holidays and walks in resorts. You will encounter artifacts of Antiquity and untouched mountain nature! You will explore the amphitheater and aqueduct of the Roman city of Aspendos, marvel at the views in the canyon, and take top-notch photos. The trip takes place in a comfortable car while listening to stories about the history and life of Turkey.
What to Expect
Ancient Theater and Aqueduct of Aspendos
A short drive from Side, and here we are in the 2nd century AD, imagining the heyday of the Roman city of Aspendos. The ancient theater, known throughout the Mediterranean as a superbly preserved structure of its kind, will be at the center of our attention. You will learn about the features of Roman period architecture, the construction of the amphitheater, and the performances that unfolded here. In addition, I will show you the 15-kilometer aqueduct and explain how it worked.
Tazi Canyon - one of the most photogenic places in Turkey
This canyon is still little known, as it was only accidentally discovered in 2017. Already on the way here, you will enjoy emerald mountain landscapes, but the most impressive view will open from the observation point above the Koprucay River gorge. You will take photos on the rocks, see pines, cypresses, and cedars, and I will tell you about the animals that inhabit this area and what else makes it remarkable.
