About this attraction

Aspendos Ancient Theatre

Aspendos sits 8 km inland from Belek and is the most complete Roman theatre standing today — built in 155 AD under Marcus Aurelius. The stage wall, 96 m wide and 22 m tall, still retains its decorated niches. The acoustics are so perfect that a whispered word on stage carries to the back row. Every June and July Aspendos hosts the Opera & Ballet Festival.

Opening hours
Daily 08:00 – 19:00 (April–October). 08:30 – 17:00 (November–March).
Entry fee
€18 adult · free under 8. Audio guide €5. Free with Turkey Museum Pass.
What to see / do

Highlights of Aspendos Ancient Theatre

🎭
The Stage Wall
A 22-metre-tall double-storey wall with Corinthian columns still standing — the only Roman stage wall surviving in this completeness.
🎤
Acoustic experiment
Drop a coin or whisper from the stage. Friends in the top row will hear it clearly. UNESCO documents call it "engineering perfection."
🎼
Opera Festival
Every June–July: Aida, Carmen, Tosca staged with full orchestra under the stars. Tickets €30–€120 — book months ahead.
🌅
Sunset over Belek
From the highest seats, the sun sets directly behind the Taurus Mountains — bring a camera.
🏺
Roman aqueduct ruins
Walk 5 minutes north to see the surviving Roman aqueduct that brought water from Köprülü Canyon.
Practical tips

Trip tricks for Aspendos Ancient Theatre

🧢
Sun + water
Stone seating gets brutally hot in summer. Hat, sun cream and 1 L of water minimum. Cafe inside is overpriced.
📷
Best photo spot
Climb to the topmost row centre-stage seat — the symmetry of the stage wall is most striking from there.
👟
Footwear
Stone steps are uneven. Sneakers; never flip-flops.
🎟
Combine with Perge
Many guests do Aspendos + Perge ancient ruins + Köprülü Canyon as a single full-day private tour — see our /tours catalogue.
