The city of Aspendos is located a few kilometers from the city of Side, in Turkey, on the banks of the Manavgat River. Everyone knows the ancient theater in this city and the legend of its origin. But many guides (including mine) simply keep silent about the city itself. I learned about its existence from a Turk who wanted to sell me some supposedly ancient coins. We talked in broken English, and he showed me with his hand - there is a city! I went. The ruins of the city amaze with splendor, you wander through the ancient streets, opening your mouth in surprise.

The most beautiful and best preserved Roman theater in Turkey. It was restored after visiting Atatü rk, when he saw it, he ordered it to be restored and reused for artistic performances. It's worth seeing and admiring : ) Great acoustics and interesting architecture that has survived to this day. Nearby are fragments of a Roman aqueduct supplying water from the mountains.
