A distinctive feature of the whole of Turkey is that throughout the country they are very careful and rather reverent about their interesting historical past. They do not deny that power has changed on the territory, foundations and culture have changed. And even though Belek quite a young city, in it (and beyond) there are What look.
The city itself and its coastal strip is filled with luxury hotels. But as soon as you leave the city, you literally plunge into the historical past of Turkey.

1. The most interesting historical site in the Belek region is the ancient city ​​of Perge.

It is from its name that the word "parchment" comes from. The city is located near the D400 highway, near the town of Aksu, east of Antalya (almost in its suburbs). This attraction Belek from those, what can you see on your own?. Because regular buses from Antalya to Manavgat and others run regularly along this route. Approaching Aksu, get off near footbridge, ask the driver to stop near Perge Yolu. Then go along this street, which is directed perpendicular to the highway, opposite from the sea. On foot you will need 25 minutes to get to Perge.

It is believed that ancient Perge was founded in the 13th century BC by the Mycenaean soothsayer Kalchas. However, there is evidence that the city was founded several centuries earlier and was then called Parha.

Over time, the city (however, like all the territories around it) passed from the Lydians to the Persians, from Alexander the Great to Pergamum. Perge reached its peak during the reign of the Roman Empire (until the 2nd century BC). It was under Rome that the most significant archaeological sites that have survived to this day are being built in the city: a theater, a stadium, Roman gates, towers and city walls, baths and a nymphaeum (as large fountains used to be called), a temple and two basilicas, Perge streets and a palace, an acropolis.

Many of these archaeological sites are still being excavated. In the first centuries of our era, Christianity came here, churches began to be erected, the apostles Barnabas and Paul came to preach. But ancient Perge is gradually falling into decay, and by the 7th century AD, almost all of its inhabitants leave the city. And with the raid on the territory of the Seljuks, Perge is given to oblivion.

It is believed that it was in Perge that the great ancient mathematician and astronomer Apollonius and his student Euclid lived. A one-time entrance to the territory of Perge for one person costs about 30 Turkish lira. There you can also buy a special card for 70 and 190 lira with which you can visit other archaeological sites such as Olympos, Phaselis and others.

Take the time and money to visit such a unique place. Fans of antiquities will simply be delighted with Perge.

2. The second, but no less significant place, what is possible see in Belek (Türkiye) is national park"Koprulu Canyon".

This park is artificial. In the territory of the present park there were wetlands, which were highly prone to erosion. But by order of Sultan Abdulaizid II, a large number of eucalyptus, coniferous trees and cypresses were planted here. The trees took root well and spread over an area of ​​more than 500 hectares.

Today, "Köprülü Canyon" is a unique place located north of Belek on the slopes of the Eastern Taurus, where almost 600 species of endemic plants grow (plants that grow in a limited area, nowhere else); more than 100 species of birds, including the barn owl, which is the symbol of Belek; a large number of different animals; and at certain times of the year, unique huge caretta-caretta turtles come here to lay their eggs.

The territory of 36 hectares, located between the villages of Beshkonak and Bolasan, has been declared since 1973 national reserve Koprulu Canyon. The entrance fee to the reserve for adults is $25, for children - $15. Separately, it will be necessary to pay for all the services and excursions offered here.

“Koprulu Canyon” will delight tourists not only with its wondrous nature, but also with ancient Roman buildings (Oluk bridge), will captivate with descent along the turbulent Kopryuchay River, hiking and horseback riding in the park, extreme mountain climbing.

3. If you are a fan of wandering through interesting natural objects, then you should pay attention to Zeytin Tash cave.

Another name for this cave is Olive Stone. The cave itself is small, located north of the city of Serik, half an hour from Belek and belongs to the category of objects What Can see for yourself. It was opened quite recently, in the late 90s of the XX century. Almost immediately after the discovery, the cave was closed from loitering curious. And only after everything was explored and equipped for visiting, they opened it. The uniqueness of the cave is that stalactites and stalagmites have been preserved in their original form. Some are so thin and openwork that one cannot believe in their natural origin.

4. The category of sights of Belek includes water park "Troya" along with the eponymous dolphinarium.

They are located on the territory of the luxurious Rixos Premium Belek hotel. The area of ​​the water park is more than 12,000 square meters, occupied by various pools, slides, water attractions, and all this is done “under the ancient Troy”. Various coniferous and eucalyptus trees grow on the territory of the water park. So, in addition to entertainment, you will get healing with unique air.

At the peak of the season, according to many tourists, there is nowhere for an apple to fall.

In case you are a little tired of the height differences on the slides in the water park, we recommend visiting the Troy Dolphinarium. It is located nearby, so you don't have to go far. In the dolphinarium, in addition to the dolphins and fur seals familiar to you, you will also meet unusual belugas.

Even if you came to rest in Turkey in the midst of tourist season, try to allocate at least half a day to visit Troy - you are guaranteed a lot of positive impressions.

5. And of course, to visit Belek and not go to play golf on the famous golf courses resort - nonsense!
