Situated in a remote region of southwest Turkey, the isolated location of Sagalassos has helped keep it a hidden gem. An important city to both Alexander the Great and ancient Rome, discover this incredibly well-preserved archaeological site with the added bonus of a Lake Karacaören photo stop and a visit to Burdur museum.
You’ll travel north through the Turkish countryside on this private tour, kicking off in what is one of the world’s largest archaeological sites. But first, there’s a stop to admire the almost made-for-Instagram Lake Karacaören – a top Turkish beauty spot.
On arrival at Sagalassos, a tour of the impressive mountaintop ruins awaits. Surrounded by crumbling columns, villas, temples and major must-sees like the city centre and the Hellenistic theatre, it’s like stepping through the pages of a history book. After lunch, a walking tour of nearby Burdur and a visit to the city museum reveals even more about the region’s past.
Available from Musement.
