Good to know
- The theatre is closed until its restoration is finished (muze.gov.tr note, 2026); everything else is open.
- There is little shade: come at 08:00 in summer, carry water, and see the statues from Perge later in Antalya (the Antalya Museum is closed for rebuilding).
- St Paul passed through Perge; it was the start of his road to Pisidian Antioch (muze.gov.tr).
