ANTALYA;
Antalya,
located in an area called Pamphylia, was founded by
Attalus II, King of Pergamum, as a port city in the
2C BC. The name of the city, Antalya is derived from
its founder’s name. Antalya had been a small city
until very recently. Tourism has made Antalya one of
the largest beautiful spots.Parallel to increasing
tourism in the city, the population grows very fast
these days. |
Clock Tower Antalya |
Kaleici, which
means "inner castle" in Turkish, has tourism to thank for its
survival. Careful conversion of old houses into dwellings or
pensions has subsequently maintained the original appearance of
these fine buildings. Modern houses are not permitted. The walls
of Antalya were built in the Hellenistic period but later
restored and enlarged in the Roman and Byzantine periods. The
impressive Roman structure of Hadrian’s Gate was built by
citizens of Antalya to commemorate the visit of the Emperor
Hadrian in 130 AD. Located in Ataturk Street, it was made of
marble and originally had two stories. It has three arched
entranceways separated by piers with Corinthian columns in front
of each. The gate is flanked by two 2C BC towers. After entering
through Hadrian’s Gate, a little further away in the old town
center is the ruin of a mosque, Kesik Minare (Truncated Minaret).
This building was originally a Roman temple which in the 5C AD
was converted into a Byzantine church and finally in the 13C
made into a mosque. The Hidirlik Kulesi, a 2C AD round tower, is
thought to have been the burial place of a local dignitary. The
Yivli Minare (The Fluted Minaret) which became the symbol of
Antalya, is part of a 13C Seljuk period medrese and mosque
complex.
Except for these few places in the center of the city and the
Archeological Museum on the western edge of town, there is not
much to see in the city. It must be noted that the Archeological
Museum is one of the top five in the country, and not to be
missed.

Aspendos
- Aspendos is known for his best-preserved
theater of antiquity with seating for 15.000. Still used today,
the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a
basilica, agora and one of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.
Perge
ancient city
-
Originally,
a Hellenistic settlement, which later developed into a thriving
Roman city, Perge is a historicist’s delight. Situated only 18
km from Antalya in the Pamphylion plain, Perge has a long legacy
(almost from 1500 B.C.) to narrate with its initial inhabitants
being the Hittites. Its importance also lies in the fact that
the ruins of the Roman city provides a very complete picture of
the past, thus making it archaeologically invaluable. However,
even if you are wondering how an archaeologically fertile site
could ever interest you, you should never miss a chance of
visiting it. For Perge has much to offer for the vacationer as
well, it has a unique blend of the exotic and the ancient.
