See Fire of Anatolia’s 120 dancers perform Evolution or Troy at Ancient Aspendos Theater near Antalya. Expect Anatolian folk dance, ballet, modern choreography, dramatic lighting, and a show lasting about two hours, including an interval. Transfers and dinner vary by option.

“The experience is just fascinating. Imagine watching a dance show in a thousands years old amphitheatre. Aspendo is only a 45min drive from Antalya.
