Attractions in Belek

Aspendos theatre: Although there are no actual historical sights in Belek, it’s pretty close to the ancient settlements of Aspendos and Perge. This remarkably well preserved amphitheatre seats over 7,000 people, and was built under the Roman rule of Marcus Aurelius. Nearby you’ll find the remains of a marketplace and the supremely clever workings of a Roman aqueduct.

Perge: This ancient Greek city is a short drive from Belek and features endless rows of columns and ruins of temples, churches and theatres. It’s also said to be the first city to produce beer, and has a heritage dating right back to 1000 BC.
