From the two towers, which have become the symbol of Perge, starts the colonnaded street that ends in the nympheum beneath of the acropolis. The theatre is the main feature of Aspendos, attracting visitors who come here to see the most magnificent example of such architecture still remaining in Turkey. That the theatre remained so well-preserved till this day, is due to the fact of the thought-out construction method of the architect Zeno under the rule of emperor Marcus Aurelius (in 161-180 A.D.) and also to the late Byzantines and Seljuks, who used the theatre and kept in good condition. Thus the theatre of Aspendos forms still in the 21st century an unforgettable frame for concerts and festivals

The ruins of the antique town lie on the southern slopes of the A¤lasun Mountain, which belongs to the western part of the Taurus Mountains. Today the A¤lasun stream is only a small tributary of the Aksu, however, in the antiquity this river was much bigger and formed together with the secure location high in the mountain slope very good conditions for the development of the town. Excavations started in 1990 under the direction of Professor M. Waelkens from the University of Loewen in Belgium. The area is extensive as Sagalassos was once the biggest city of Psidia. The Bouleuterion, the ruins of the city hall, the Agora, the Heroon with the frieze of the dancing girls and the inside of the neon library with a beautiful mosaic floor are worth seeing. The Hellenistic fountain is especially impressive, because since 1997 the well water flows again through the antique water pipes into the basin of the fountain. The big fountain building on the north side of the upper Agora is also very impressive. The tour takes you later to Burdur. Visit of the museum with the statues found at Sagalassos, short visit of the old part of the city of Burdur, return to Antalya.
