World’s most preserved Roman Theatre. A must see! Especially in a live concert the place becomes legendary

the theatre is amazing as it is rare to see a full completed one and the surrounding area is full of many things to see so get ready for a long walks in the Big City
Aspendos was built in Roman era and dates back to 4 AD. Amazing architecture. The only amphitheater of that era which is still standing in its complete form. An hour's drive from Antalya city, it is a must visit, Between Perge and Aspendos, would definitely recommend this place.
I wouldn't recommend going there, those are not the most impressive ruins one can see in Anatolia. Boring and not well-maintained except of the amphetheater. In my opinion, it is not worth the trip. If you are in Antalya, try Perge instead.
Really great architecture and traces of history.
Just past Serik, off the Antalya-Alanya highway (D400) you’ll come to the ruins of a city that for a time was the most important in the ancient Pamphylia region. Aspendos grew up on a plateau, a short way inland from the mouth of the Eurymedon, and reached its apogee in the 5th century BCE, trading wool, oil and salt via the navigable river. The headline at Aspendos is the theatre from the 2nd century BCE. Praised for its incomparable level of preservation, this monument is almost 100 metres in diameter and can seat 12,000. It’s a breathtaking venue for the Aspendos International Opera and Ballet Festival every September. Nearby are the ruins of an aqueduct, basilica, nymphaeum, agora and the Roman bridge on the Eurymedon that was rebuilt in the 13th century. The remains at Aspendos are all the more spectacular against the craggy mass of the Taurus Mountains, commanding the horizon the north.
Very well preserved Roman amphitheatre , well worth a visit
Theater is in great shape and well worth to see it. However rest of the ruins are not so much. Has a nice gift shop which sells reasonably priced goods.
