At Aspendos during the summer months there is a programme of Concerts,Ballet and Opera.

Visit the site during daylight and return in the evening for a concert. Start time used to be around 9pm, when it gets dark, and can continue past midnight.

Take a cushion, a bottle of wine and enjoy.

However, it is still worth the visit.

More advice, in addition to the big cushion you may well need a step ladder as the hieght between some of the tiers is considerable.

The ballet and operas which are at Aspendos will now be in the new theatre near to the original site .We went last year for one of the last performances in the Amphitheatre which is near to the new building.

Also Mugla itself is worth a visit.At the back of the town there are some very old Ottoman houses that are lovely to see they are up through the town shops near the mountains,very quaint and interesting.Not difficult to find either.You can get a coach from the Otogar direct to Mugla takes about 2hrs 30 mins approx,probably 1hour 30 mins to drive yourself.
