Aspendos is an ancient Greco-Roman city in Antalya Serik region, mostly famous for its antique Roman Empire theater which holds the title of best preserved ancient amphitheater in Turkey. It was built in 2 AD and dedicated to Emperor Markus Aurelius. One of the most spectacular ancient views you can see as a traveller waits for you.

Throughout the history, Aspendos was always a popular city and had seen many invasions. At Seljuk times, it was used as a caravansary. There are also various Roman structures nearby including basilica, agora, nymphaeum and a long 15 kms long Roman aqueduct.
