Pretty deserted on a Friday morning. We got there at 8:30 and saw no one else for the next hour. Take some time to walk around since the theater and stadium are a bit out of the way of the main city. The main thing that sets this place apart for me is the well preserved baths. Definitely take time to check those out with the various temperature rooms (read the sign at the start).

An incredible ancient city with an imposing entrance gate (semicircular towers), wide streets and numerous landmarks. The stadium is huge, and the theater is very well preserved, including sculptures. Highly recommended.

A totally unreal Place, one of the best preserved Greco-Roman ruins I've ever seen. The theater is amazing, and the stadium is the best preserved I've seen. Great Hellenistic Towers. A must-see place

Very nice and large city. After checking everything, make sure you climb the nearby hill with a panorama terrace for a general view and nice almost bird’s-eye view photos. Colonnade streets must have been epic (in their time). Some great mosaic work there. Definitely worth a visit.

This is for now the most incredible place I've ever seen. It's like being at an archaeological museum without an actual museum. You can see all kinds of buildings, see the city streets and walk them, and believe me, there's a big difference between hearing, let's say, in Pergamon museum, that the main street was this wide and the gate was this tall, and actually walking through the main gate here. The city was built on the whole different scale and it was meant for another things, ot was built to amaze and inspire. Every pile of rocks hides something interesting, like a miraculously untouched bas-relief or an inscription in Latin or Greek. If you've already seen some other ruins of cities you may find this not that great, but if all your experience with antiques was on museums - you have to visit this one while you're in Antalya.

Unbelievable place. Could easily spend half a day there. It's amazing the preservation and restoration work that they have done here over just a couple of years. Very much worthwhile and easy to get to. Very good value too. Don't forget to visit the amphitheatre - hold on to your ticket to ensure you can.

The place needs better tracks for sure but it's a great site to check out for a sort of a time traveling experience
