Sagalassos Antik Kent

Wow, Sagalassos is seriously amazing #MustVisit. A huge amount a care and attention is going into restoring this ancient city, with the potential to rival Ephesus. There is so much to do and explore in this area. Take proper walking boats, plenty of water and your imagination. We stayed in Sagalassos Hotel 4kms down the hill, had an early breakfast and then took a good couple of hours to explore the ruins, we could hav e taken most of the day and regret not walking up Alexander’s Hill.

Amazing place!!! We've been to a lot of antique places but this is the best one! Just breathtaking! Definitely worth visiting! The entrance is just 14 lira.

It is incredible peace of magic... Ancient history speak with you...Hellenics, Romans, Byzantines... here they are in every stone, fragments of columns, in the scraps... You will never feel satisfied with Ancient History if you don't visit Sagalassos?

If you are a fan of antique greek/roman culture, this site is a must have for you. A massive 3-4 hour long walk, if you want to see everything and consume all the information presented on the displays. BTW you don't need to bring any kind of tourist guide, the info displays are really great. BUT don't forget to bring a big bottle of water with yourself! Inside there is no possibility to get any kind of drink...

This was possibly my favorite ancient city we’ve visited in Turkey, and we’ve seen lots! The setting is absolutely amazing - surrounded by mountains, and it is huuuge. There’s so much to see. The fountain is unbelievable. We visited mid-June, and the weather was still very nice + there were wildflowers everywhere. Other details: -They are working to have detailed plaques everywhere with information in Turkish, German, and English about different aspects of the city. -A lot of the city could be accessed with a stroller (not all). There are lots of gravel paths throughout, so it could easily be enjoyed by kids or older individuals. -There are clean and well-maintained bathrooms at the entrance! -There is a small gift shop and snack area and a place to take pictures that overlooks the valley below. -There’s a building built over a huge mosaic floor (on the way to the theatre). Make sure you don’t miss it. It was closed when we visited, but we were able to peek in and see a lot. -Not sure about rules on food, but lots of people had food inside. -The parking lot was very small, but we had no problem parking on the road. -It was very busy on a Sunday afternoon - but still plenty of space because the city is very very big and spread out.

Impressive history. This ancient city I guess was designed and built to replace or mimic Delphi in Greece. That is to be the safekeepinf of treasures of riches during difficult times...

Stunning ruin in a beautiful state of preservation and with a beautiful natural view from high in the limestone mountains. The theater, heroon, and fountain are particularly attractive. The fine marble statues that were discovered here can be seen at the Burdur Archaeological Museum.

Gorgeous location for off the beaten path wanderings. Beautiful drive to and from. If you see a tour bus, it's very easy to avoid the tourists. They head straight for the upper agora and then leave. Maps are in Turkiah, English and Dutch. Descriptions are in Turkish and English. Lots of local flowers, plants, and butterflies to see. Recommend 2-4 hours to explore the entire site. Bring water or buy some at the cafe. Entry fee 17.50TL.
