Aspendos Theatre, Serik, Mediterranean Magnet

The ancient Roman theatre of Aspendos is one of the best-preserved theatres of antiquity. Built during the reign of Marcus Aurelius, it can hold up to 15,000 spectators and still boasts an incredibly intact stage building and seating area. Renowned for its near-perfect acoustics, the theatre is still used today for opera and ballet festivals. Standing in the centre of the arena, one can feel the immense scale of Roman public life, where the whispers from the stage can be heard perfectly in the highest rows of the limestone galleries.
