Why you’ll love this…

You'll explore Sagalassos, one of Türkiye's best-preserved Roman archaeological sites high in the Taurus Mountains
There's a relaxing lakeside lunch at Karacaören Lake surrounded by forested hills and mountain scenery
You'll cruise across emerald waters on an eco-powered catamaran with swimming and water sports in Amber Canyon

What to expect

Escape the coastline and journey into the heart of the Taurus Mountains on this immersive full-day experience combining history, nature and relaxation.

The journey begins with the spectacular ancient city of Sagalassos, one of the best-preserved Roman archaeological sites in Türkiye. Set high in the mountains, this "city in the clouds" impresses with monumental architecture, dramatic views and a fascinating history shaped by the Pisidian civilisation and later Roman influence. The transformation of Sagalassos from a forgotten mountain city into a globally recognised archaeological treasure began in 1986, when Prof. Marc Waelkens of KU Leuven (Belgium) led excavations that continue to this day.

After exploring the ruins, you'll head to Karacaören Lake for a relaxing lakeside lunch surrounded by forested hills before boarding an eco-powered catamaran cruise. You'll glide across emerald waters, discover hidden coves and canyon landscapes, and enjoy a refreshing swim break with canoe and SUP board activities inside the beautiful Amber Canyon.

Activities

Antalya quad bike or buggy safari

Antalya is pinched between the Mediterranean coastline and the Taurus Mountains, and gives you the perfect setting for some off-road fun. Choose a buggy or quad bike and hit the trails on a guided tour of the countryside. After your safety briefing and a quick test drive, you'll have over an hour and a half in the driving seat either solo or sharing the views with your passenger. You'll leave the resorts behind and see the wild side of Türkiye as you rumble through rocky mountain foothills, drive through dry riverbeds and take a well-deserved breather in a pine-scented forest.

Activities

Turkish sunrise hot air balloon ride over Aspendos

You'll need to rise and shine early to catch this ride, but the wow-worthy views of the ancient city of Aspendos are worth the early wake-up call. As your pilot expertly coaxes the hot air balloon skywards, you'll gain a whole new perspective of this beautifully preserved site. Soar over the ruins, enjoying the fresh morning air and the silence it brings, broken only by the occasional blast of the burner and the ‘ooos' and ‘ahhhs' of your group. The Roman theatre is the star attraction. It was built in the 2nd-century BC during the reign of Marcus Aurelius – remember the emperor in the movie Gladiator? That guy. As you gaze down, just imagine those fight scenes playing out to an audience of thousands in the tiered semi-circle. The bird's eye view helps you appreciate the Romans' feat of engineering with the ancient aqueduct snaking its way towards the mountains that once fed it. This is definitely one to have your camera handy for. The surrounding rolling hills and fruit farms, the Mediterranean to the south and the Taurus Mountains to the North frame photos that you'll want to remember. You'll round off the experience with a celebratory glass of fizz and head home with a certificate – just in case you look back and wonder if it was all a dream.
