The Old Centre
by lotharlerch
Antalya was most of its history a very small town which exploded since the Turkish beaches became an important tourist destination. The historical centre can visited on a rather short walk including the old port.
Perge
by mvtouring
Perge (18 kilometers / 11 miles from Antalya) was an important city. It was settled by the Hittites around 1500 B.C. Kestros (Aksu) river, which runs near the acropolis, made Perge like a port because it was possible to navigate from the sea to the city. Thus, an important trade route starting from Side run through the nearby city of Aspendos and then Perge.
Perge is also famous by the fact that when Saint Paul started his journeys, he visited Perge in 46 A.D. and preached his first sermon here. That's why it became an important city for the Christians during Byzantine period.
