N	Nayan Aditto on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Must see if u go this aera. Perge, one of the Pamphylian cities and was believed to have been built in the 12th to 13th centuries BC. After coming under the rule of Lydia and Persia, the city surrendered to Alexander the Great in 334 BC. The brightest era of the city was during the reign of the Romans in the 2nd to 3rd centuries AD. Ancient Perge is famous by the fact that when Saint Paul started his journeys, he visited Perge in 46 AD. and preached his first sermon here. That is why it became an important city for the Christians during Byzantine period.
N	Nejat Akin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Most remarkable historic site in Anatolia where civilisation flourished beginning from 530 BC. Amazing sculpture and stone masonry is practiced with master sculptors. Amazing amphitheater, fantastic hipodrome and a perfect settlement plan including an early church in the region.
A	Amol Brahme on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful hidden gem kept away from tourists. Most bus tours skip this place. We were by ourselves in the amphitheatre and had fun singing and making mock speeches. The ruins are comparable to Ephesus.
P	Pinar Gokpinar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very big and well preserved historical site that is a must visit. Especially worthwhile if you could combine this visit with Antalya museum as the sculptures in the museum are mostly from Perge site.
A	Anindita Sardar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ History meets modern days. A place must visit for people traveling to Antalya. A place where you can see beautiful relics of Roman empire. The place is quaint and takes back you to roman ages. A little far from Antalya. But the travel to this place is equally awesome
T	True Red on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Truly amazing must see site that seems to go on forever - gives you a good idea of what a large city state was like - able to discern the different time periods by the styles of buildings/ architecture that were used - get to see the architecture that was built to impress such as the good half mile long columned thoroughfare and the engineering to transport the water from the top of the hill down - the excavations/restoration continues so this will only get better ( last pic shows that the stone was clad in a white marble which would have made this look even more impressive in it's heyday) NB = if possible pay a trip to antalya museum first to see all the magnificent statues that were excavated from the site
S	Sarah Maskour on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Perge theater and the surrounding city were amazing, definitely worth the 50tl. It’s a vast city with a lot of history, worth walking around and reading about it. There were many columns still standing as well. The theater isn’t as preserved as the Aspendos theater but it was still beautiful.
