Perge has a history dating back to around 1000 BC and is one of the most important ancient cities of the Pamphylia region. The city flourished during the Hellenistic period after the conquests of Alexander the Great in 333 BC. The Roman period was the peak of Perge’s development, as evidenced by its city walls, stadium, temples, and agora.
Perge is considered the birthplace of Aphrodite (Venus) in Greek mythology. There was even a Temple of Aphrodite here. Additionally, figures such as Tiresias and Mopsos, famous oracles, are also featured in the city's mythology.

In Greek mythology, Side is known as a cult center for Apollo and Artemis. The city’s name is derived from a mythological character named Side.

Manavgat Waterfall
Manavgat Waterfall is located on the Manavgat River and is one of the region's most important natural beauties. The waterfall forms from the merging of waters from surrounding mountains, creating a stunning landscape due to the flow rate of the water. Unlike the ancient cities, the history of Manavgat is more rooted in its natural richness than in ancient ruins.
