Very close to the hotel. We just rented a bus with 10 people. It took only 20 minutes and we spend more than a hour with a guide who told us the history about thede place.

we love anything about Rome ruins, Perge Antalya is a must to see, the site is well preserved and some undergoing excavation on the site. We spent 2 hours just admire how magnificent this site is, we just did not want to leave. Wonderful !

Perge is very impressive little city located a few km from Antalya. It's very easy to get there by car ( but I am sure that also by buses) as it's just of the highway. Impressive ruins where you can walk in the old street see the shops were in the Agora area and the big baths. They had 3... More

Another great place to wander & explore. Truly amazing place, the Romans & Greeks were so clever, just marvel at all that has been excavated. So many columns, walls, pillars, and still alot of work left to do. We enjoyed it so much.

What a fantastic location themthar Romans certainly knew how to build. A good guide is essential and ours(Erim) was definately worth his salt he painted a thorough picture of what it was all about.

I must agree with many other reviewers that this would be a better site if there was more information. However even without a guide this is a very impressive and very large collection of ruins, essentially an entire town, which was reportedly one of the most beautiful cities of the Hellenistic era ca. 300 BC, but was also occupied by...

We enjoyed this site. In my opinion you really need a guide to explain what is here to get the best of this ruined city, otherwise you don't notice or understand the best bits.

We just visited Perge, about 2km beyond Antalya's airport by car. It is a site that should not be missed while in Antalya. A great experience of seeing how this important city of Pamphylia was built and then restored by the Romans. You can easily spend 2hrs here. There are adequate signs that explain what you are looking at.
