Why is Antalya important for biblical travellers?
Perge is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as a city visited by Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey, and Myra, where Paul changed ships on his voyage to Rome, was later the see of St. Nicholas, the bishop behind the Santa Claus legend. This tour brings those places together with the region's Roman theatres and the coast.
What makes the Aspendos Theatre special?
Built in the 2nd century AD, it is one of the best-preserved Roman theatres in the world, with its stage building still standing, and it is still used for performances. On this tour you also see the remains of the ancient stadium at Aspendos.
When is the best time to visit Antalya?
Spring and autumn are ideal for the ancient sites. Summer is hot, though the Kekova boat trip and the waterfall offer relief. Winter is mild on the coast and quiet at the sites.
What should you bring?
Comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, water, swimwear if you want to swim during the boat trip, modest clothing for the church, and your passport or ID for the domestic flights.
