OVERVIEW :

Located approximately 28 miles east from Antalya city center, Aspendos is renowned not only in Anatolia but also in the entire Mediterranean world for having the best-preserved Roman-era theater. The city was established on a plain hill near Koprucay (ancient Eurymedon), one of the largest rivers in the region. Aspendos, owing its transportation and development to the river nearby, as well as to the fertile soil around it, is visited mostly for its theatre and aqueducts. Other relics in the city can be found located in the plain hill where the theatre is located.
