Overview
This Hellenistic town is where St. Paul preached his first
sermon. You can visit a large stadium (once seating 15,000), restored
triumphal arch and the ruins of a hillside Roman amphitheater. Perga can be
seen as a half-day trip from Antalya or a full-day excursion if linked with
Side and Aspendos (the latter features a huge
Roman amphitheater and aqueducts from the 2nd century AD). 10 mi/16 km
northeast of Antalya.
