Located in a remote region of southwestern Turkey, Sagalassos' isolated location has helped make it a hidden gem. A city of importance to Alexander the Great and ancient Rome, you will discover this incredibly well-preserved archaeological site, with the added bonus of a photo stop at Lake Karacaoren and a visit to the Burdur museum. More information in the description below.
As you travel north through the Turkish countryside, you will reach one of the world's greatest archaeological sites. But first, you will stop to admire Lake Karacaoren, a Turkish site of great beauty.
Upon arrival in Sagalassos, a tour of the impressive mountain top ruins awaits you. Surrounded by collapsed columns, villas, temples and must-see sites like those in the city center and the Hellenistic theater; it's like flipping through the pages of a history book.
After lunch, a walking tour of the nearby town of Burdur and a visit to the town museum will reveal even more about the region's past.
