Sad that so little of this important city is left. Whilst you get some sense of what it would have been like you don't visualise the bustle of a thriving community. The church of St Paul is probably best preserved although as it is being worked on you don't get to walk down inside it at present. Certainly worth visiting if you are in the district but not if you have to drive 3 hours each way.

We spent 4 hours slowly looking over the ruins, imagining the history that transpired here and enjoying a picnic lunch we brought. Discovered 4 church ruins including one with reconstructed sections of floor tiles. We walked there from our hotel in Yalvac, not too far. Definitely worth the 60 TL admission!

Antioch of Pisidia is another important and pretty spectacular ancient city located in Yalvaç city of Isparta. Its history dates back to 3rd Century BC and there several remainings from different eras. The theatre, Decumanus Maximus and Cardo Maximus streets, Temple of Augustus and Sanctuary, Nympheum and St. Paulus Church are the main places that you will see. The site is wide and excavations still continue. You need at least 2 hours to visit this place properly. Enterance fee is 12.5 TL as of January 2022. You can park on the street in front of the area.

As of August 2024, the entrance fee is 3 euros.
This area was not busy and the weather here was cool, making it the best area to visit in the hot summer months. The neighborhood itself feels like a rural village, and I felt a sense of familiarity and connection with the locals, unlike other touristy places.

One of the lesser trodden hidden gems of Turkey. A real sight to see, site accessed via entrance booth, with some helpful signage round the site. Can highly recommend.

This is the birthplace of Saint Marina. We came from Plovdiv to honor her at the place where Apostle Paul preached. We wore the icon created by the author Lana Petkova. We admired the progress of the restorers in just one year! There may not be as many preserved buildings here, but there is spirit! Do not hesitate to come!
