  (After breakfast depart to Antalya (30 minute drive).
  PERGE: Perge was founded by Akhas, Mopsos, and Arnphilokhos who came here after the Trojan wars. Perge was first mentioned in 334 BC when Alexander the Great passed through here. In the following years, Perge went under the control of Pergamon when the Kingdom of Pergamon became a part of the Roman city. Especially in the first and the second centuries BC, Perge became one of the richest towns in Pamphylia. Therefore it is not a surprising that St. Paul started his campaign in Anatolia from Perge in 46 AD. It is one of the better-preserved archaeological sites in Turkey. After the tour of Perge, we will depart for Aspendos. Lunch break on the way.
  Aspendos: The eastern land of Antalya was called Pamphylia in ancient times. Aspendos (Belkis) lies 47km east of Antalya in the Pamphylian plain. A naval battle was fought off Aspendos in 469 B.C. during which the Persian fleet was defeated by the forces of the Athenian general Cimon. Despite this however we see Aspendos being used as a Persian base in 411 B.C. With Alexander’s defeat of the Persians in 334 B.C., Aspendos was freed of Persian rule. It was ruled by various Hellenistic period kings following the death of Alexander and like most other cities in Asia Minor it came under Roman rule in 133 B.C. Aspendos is most renowned for its theatre, the best-preserved ancient theater in Turkey. It was built by Romans and maintained by Byzantines and Seljuks. The ruins of the ancient city are extensive and include a stadium, an agora, and a basilica.

  We were a group of 2 couples that visited Istanbul and Cappadocia in May. Ibrahim and his crew made sure that our trip was planned to perfection. The guides offered great knowledge about Turkish history, geography, culture, tradition and lifestyle. The guides Kerim and Ayan( Farhad) were very friendly and helpful. Both hotels that we stayed at in Istanbul and Cappadocia were clean, centrally located and well furnished. Special mention to the Dedali Konak Cave hotel that was surrounded by amazing natural beauty. If I ever return to Turkey to visit other beautiful cities, I will certainly engage with Yuki Tours. We will relish the memories of this trip forever. Thank you Ibrahim and the crew for making our trip so memorable.
