SIGHTSEEING IN BELEK
The area around Belek has some mouth-watering attractions within an hours drive. In neighbouring regions, there is the Hellenistic Roman city of Perge. Perge is rated second after Ephesus and the great amphitheatre of Aspendos. Aspendos today can still hold nearly 20.000 viewers. Nearby as well are the fantastic Manavgat Falls and the Roman city of Side. Side is a pretty resort town with ancient ruins, a large amphitheatre, two sandy beaches, numerous cafes and restaurants with a view of the sea and the shops that line the narrow streets that sell typical Turkish handcrafts. Only a few miles to the west is Antalya with its surprising harbour and ancient city where Turkish handcrafts that have begun to be recognized internationally can be bought. You can also visit ancient Burdur, the Roman city of Termossosa. It is located in the high mountains above Antalya and was founded by Alexander the Great in 333 BC.
