Is the Aspendos Theatre worth visiting?
Yes, it is one of the highlights of the whole Turkish coast. Built in the 2nd century AD, the Aspendos Theatre is remarkably complete, with its stage building and seating still standing, and it is still used for performances today. Standing in the stands, you get a real sense of what a Roman audience experienced.

No. Entrance fees to the archaeological sites and attractions are not included in the price and are paid at each site. Bring a card or cash; ask us if you would like the current fees before you travel.
When is the best time for this tour?
