What to expect
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.
