Overview

What sets our Sagalassos tour apart from any other historical excursion in Turkey is the rare opportunity to experience a “living” history, completely away from the suffocating crowds of mass tourism.

While 99% of global archaeological sites consist of dry, silent ruins, the Antonine Fountain of Sagalassos is alive. After 1,800 years, the original mountain spring water still flows into its massive Roman pool. Here, you don't just look at history; you hear the cascading water and touch the exact same ice-cold spring that Roman elites did in 160 AD.

Perched 1,500 meters high in the Taurus Mountains, this “Sky City” offers a mystical atmosphere where time stands still. You will explore a breathtaking 9,000-seat theater hanging over a cliff, offering unmatched panoramic views.

With Travellers Choose, you enjoy a seamless, premium day trip: skip-the-line entry, luxury transfers, and an authentic local lunch. It’s not just a sightseeing tour; it’s a true journey of discovery.

Antonine Fountain: The Living Heart of Sagalassos Deep within the Taurus Mountains, at the archaeological wonder of Sagalassos, lies a structure that defies the passage of centuries: The Antonine Fountain. Built between 160 – 180 AD during the golden Roman era of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, this monumental fountain (Nymphaeum) was designed not just to supply water, but to showcase the immense wealth, power, and artistic genius of the Roman Empire.
