About this tour
This session moves through two of Antalya Museum's strongest rooms, the Perge gallery of marble statues and the hall holding a large Roman floor mosaic. You see the detail in the carved poses, then the geometric pattern of the mosaic laid out under glass. Between the two rooms, the session builds a picture of how wealthy the ancient cities nearby once were.
I start with a sound check at the entrance to the gallery, then we move room by room while you ask questions about the pieces. I slow down at a couple of statues I find most striking. At the end I send a short written note on what we saw.
This suits anyone who wants the region's archaeology explained by someone trained in it rather than a general overview. It also works well before a trip out to Perge or Aspendos.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Antalya before heading out.
-
Perge Gallery 21 min
The camera moves along a row of marble statues brought from Perge. I explain how their poses and condition tell us about the sculptors who made them.
-
Mosaic Hall 21 min
You see a large Roman floor mosaic laid out under glass. I point out the geometric pattern at its border and what it tells us about the room it once decorated.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Antalya: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Baklava and Konyaaltı, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
