Going to Antalya in Turkey next week, and just wanted to make sure I've got the sight seeing list all present and correct...
Perge - nice and near.
Aspendos - More ruins and a massive amphitheatre. The road up there sounds like fun!
Termessos - yet more ruins/Amphitheatre in a large national park.
Side - Sounds like a nice little town and beach amongst various ancient ruins.
The Cable Car ride at Kemer
Phaselis - three lovely looking beaches with, yep - more Roman ruins.
Cmimaera - Mountain with natural gas fire pits.

Anything I've missed?

Yes, but uselessly I am stuffed if I can remember it's name. A bit out of town, there is a lovely park type place where the locals seem to go, it has a river running through a gorge with several waterfalls, one large enough to walk under - I'll look through my pics and see if there are any names.

Enjoy, I loved it in Antalya. Chimaera is well worth the walk, take plenty of water.

Is that Koprulu canyon?

Looks lovely - but a bit of a trek.

No, don't think so - that place looks too big. I'll have a Google.

Manavgat, there's a big reservoir thing up in the mountains, boat trips etc, cool break from the hot beach area

there's some waterfall/rapids thing there too, with a restaurant in the middle of the rapids, you can walk through stepping stone type thing?

we also did a gentle canyon rafting thing, but there is a 'wild water' version too

a bit of a trek from Antalya itself, not far from Side

not massively detailed post, I know, it was years ago when I was there

In Antalya itself the museum is pretty good. Some of the sarcophagi are fantastic - carving amazing and air con as well so not hot. One of the few museums I've bought the catalogue for.
