Antalya cultural tours & ancient city day trips — questions & answers
Which ancient cities can you visit from Antalya?
Perge, Aspendos and Side on the classic full-day tour; Myra and the sunken city of Kekova on the Demre tour; and Hierapolis on the Pamukkale day trip.
How long is the Perge, Aspendos and Side tour?
It is a full day, roughly 8–9 hours door to door with hotel pickup, and it includes lunch and a licensed guide.
Are entrance tickets included?
Inclusions differ per tour and are listed under 'What's included' on each tour page. Where tickets are not included, we tell you the cost before you book.
In which languages are the guided tours available?
Guided cultural tours run in English, German, Russian and Turkish. For French, Polish or another language we arrange a private guide on request.
Are cultural tours suitable for children?
Yes for older children — these are walking days on uneven ancient stone in the sun. For younger children the Antalya city tour, Kaleiçi sunset walk and boat-based Kekova trip are easier.
Can I visit Pamukkale as a day trip from Antalya?
Yes. It is a long day — around 3 hours' drive each way — but it is done as a single full-day tour with hotel pickup.
Can I take a private cultural tour?
Yes. Any of these itineraries can run privately with your own guide, vehicle and start time.
What should I bring?
Comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen and water. Modest clothing is useful if the itinerary includes a mosque or church.
