The ancient city of Aspendos is located very close to Side in the village of Belkis. Once in ancient times it was one of the richest cities in Turkey.
The ancient Roman theater has been preserved very well, currently various concerts are held here. The acoustics are simply gorgeous, it's a pity we didn't manage to get to the concert. Since all the sights of Aspendos are in the open air, it is better to come with water supplies and either early in the morning or after 3. We were after 3, there were practically no tourist groups. What is noteworthy is that a bus with a group arrived with us, and left before us. Judge for yourself, it is better to visit this place with an excursion or enjoy the views yourself. In addition to the majestic amphitheater, the ruins of the stadium, the basilica, and the gates have been preserved. We walked around the city for about 2 hours and got a pleasant impression, took a photo for memory. Be careful, tickets are paid, payment in lira, a child of 5 years is free.

A very interesting archaeological open-air museum. A large territory, many preserved antique arches, columns, galleries, an amphitheater. Definitely worth a visit!

The price, of course, is too high. About 1,800 lire was paid for three people. The Colosseum impresses with its scale and size. If you are afraid of heights, you may feel dizzy. The city itself occupies a fairly large area, so gather your strength and take water with you (there is nowhere to buy it, only at the entrance). Excavations are still underway on the territory of the city, it is interesting to see.
