Belek / Tasagil area

Places of Historical Interest –

Perge –
Perge was the second biggest ancient city in Anatolia situated in the district of Aksu. The ruins of the city are vast and although excavations started in 1946, today the city has still not been fully uncovered. Here you will find the ruins of the once magnificent theatre, a u-shaped stadium still in a very good state of preservation, a Gateway and the remains of the wall that surrounded Perge in the Hellenistic period.

Side – (pronounced see-day)
Just 20 minutes from Augustus Village you can visit the beautiful and bustling town of Side, situated on a peninsula one kilometre long and four hundred metres wide. The name Side in the Anatolian language means “pomegranate”. Here you can indulge your hunger of times gone by, with the abundance of historic monuments, museums, the superb Side theatre where the annual festival of the area is held and the magnificent grandeur of Apollo’s Temple almost stretching into the arms of the sea. But Side has more to offer - a plethora of shops with colourful vendors and goods and cosy little restaurants you can relax and enjoy good local food and a harbour and beaches.

Aspendos
Here, among the ruins of Aspendos, you can find the best preserved ancient theatre in Turkey, built with a seating capacity of around 20,000 and one that is still in use today. During the summer months you can attend a concert, ballet or opera depending on the programme for the season. This is truly an opportunity not to miss. Aspendos also offers views of a once magnificent aqueduct, constructed in Roman times around the 1st or 2nd century A.D.

Other Places of Interest -

Antalya –
Although Antalya is today a modern city there are still traces of old Turkey that are worth searching for. The Hidirlik tower stills stands and the Karatay Medresse an ancient castle overlooking the harbour with it's old houses nestled inside. If the region’s art and history is for you then a visit to the Antalya Museum is a must.

Manavgat waterfall –
One of the best known waterfalls in Turkey is located on the Oymapinar dam road, 3 km from the town of Manavgat. This is a particularly lush area with three good sized rivers to providing water.

Duden and Kursunlu waterfall –
The waterfall is on one of the tributaries of the Aksu river and nestling in the middle of a pine forest is exceptionally beautiful. The countryside around the falls provides a lovely picnic area and pleasure spot and is just 30 minutes from Augustus Village. Kursunlu offers the unique experience of being able to walk behind the cascade. Its claim to fame is that it was used in the television advertisement for Timotei shampoo.

Caves –
About one third of Turkey is underlain by carbonate rocks. The intense rock stratum is spread almost all over Turkey. It is found particularly in the regions of the Taurus Mountain Range. In the town of Alanya lies the cave of Dalmatas, which contains spectacular stalactites and stalagmites and the moist atmosphere is said to relieve asthma and chest complaints.
