aspendos ruins and theater印象

Give yourself some time to wander these ruins, as there is a lot to see and some climbing to be done. The amphitheater is pretty amazing, and you can climb up some trails to the basillica ruins and see an amazing view of the countryside.

Today we drove 40 km (one hour) to see the Aspendos Theatre only to find out that it was closed for three months to put a concrete roof over the semicircular gallery at the top of the theatre. By the way, that is not too controversial since the Romans invented concrete. In fact, the greatest Roman temple was one of the first to use concrete. That building is not a ruin and is still in use today... www.terraencounters.blogspot.com One extra tip: Definitely walk on the path up to "theatre hill" (there's a sign) for dramatic views of the whole interior of the theatre from above.

The sheer scale of the structure that survives is amazing - even when visiting with the rain pouring down. Makes the one at "Orange" in S. France look like a tiddler in comparison.Didn't realise that the used the amphitheatre for Gladiator fights and Wild animals etc. - as well as production of plays.

My favourite discovery on this trip, so sympathetically restored to keep it a live venue if needed. Acoustic is fabulous and I felt I had gone back in time

It's a great place to visit and well worth the trip, it's an awesome and very well preserved historical site, however after paying entrance fee to the site, you then have to pay to park and also to use the toilets !

As part of our tour of Capadocia, we visited this amphitheatre and were amazed at the acoustics and the size of its seating. The fact that it represents both Greacian and Roman design makes it even more interesting.

Very well informed local guide and freedom to roam over theruins. Locals were out in force selling souvenirs at inflated prices. Be prepared to haggle and walk away if not happy

We rented a car to visit a number of historical sites and this was an impressive site. Well preserved amphitheatre.Offf peak season helps, so as not to have crowds surrounding you.A wide-angle lense / camera is needed to capture the full extent of the scale.

the most complete Romano/Turkish amphitheatre and ancient roman amphitheatre, a day out to remember, not a frequent turkish traveller this was an eye opener, having travelled the Aegean since the early seventies ( my father was here in the RN during WWII), I have seen, worked and tourists many an ancient dig/site. This was truly an experience I did not expect, iI thought I had seen many things and would not have many more surprises however the delight of the roman amphitheatre here was unique, heavily restored granted, however giving a wonderful view and privileged perspective of a roman theatre goer, sit or stand and holler from the steep sided seats and feel the reverberating sounds come back, excellent, were not those romans and greeks so ingenious!! a treat not to be missed for those intrepid history freaks like us!

I've wanted to visit Aspendos Roman amphitheatre since seeing it in a textbook at school. I was delighted and a bit emotional to find that it is even better than I could have imagined. The state of preservation is phenomenal, aided no doubt by the fact that it stayed in continuous use add a caravanserai for centuries and so did not get raided as a source of building stone.The detail of the carved decoration is simply stunning and you can readily imagine what it was like to stand on the steps of the stage facing an audience a couple of millennia ago.Wonderful, enchanting place and I cannot recommend it enough. If you are in southern Turkey and you have any interest in the ancient Roman empire, this is the place to come.On a practical note, good clean loos and ample free parking.
