Private Chauffeured Day Trips to Ancient Ruins from Antalya

You have one free day in Antalya. The concierge mentions Termessos. You look it up, realise it sits at 1,050 metres above sea level inside a national park, and immediately face the obvious question: how exactly do you get there without renting a car you are unfamiliar with, navigating mountain roads you have never seen, and arriving exhausted before the walk even begins?

That is the problem WeCare was built to solve.

Why Self-Drive Ruins the Experience

Ancient Lycia and Pamphylia are scattered across a long coastal arc β€” Perge lies roughly 17 km east of central Antalya, Phaselis about 57 km southwest along the D400, Myra sits near Demre some 160 km west, and Termessos climbs into the Taurus mountains 34 km northwest. Each requires a different road, a different headspace, and, in the case of Termessos, genuine mountain-driving confidence. Tour buses follow fixed itineraries. Taxis wait on meters. Neither gives you the freedom to linger in the theatre at Perge until the afternoon light is exactly right.

A private chauffeur changes the equation entirely.

The Sites & What to Expect

Perge β€” A 30-minute drive from the city centre. One of the most complete Hellenistic and Roman cities in Asia Minor: colonnaded main street, a monumental gate, a vast theatre seating 14,000. Plan two to three hours on site.

Termessos β€” An hour northwest, winding up through pine forest. The Pisidian city that famously refused Alexander the Great sits above the clouds on clear mornings. The necropolis alone justifies the ascent. Wear sturdy footwear; your chauffeur waits below in the cool shade.

Phaselis β€” Fifty-five minutes southwest. Three small harbours, a main street that once connected them, and a theatre set against pine-backed mountains dropping into turquoise water. Arrive early before the day-trippers.

Myra β€” Two and a half hours each way, best as a full-day pairing with the submerged city of Simena or the Lycian coast at Kas. The rock-cut tombs are extraordinary; the church of St Nicholas a short walk away.

How WeCare Organises Your Day

You choose the sites; we build the day around them. Your chauffeur arrives at your hotel entrance β€” no lobby calls, no waiting in a taxi rank. The vehicle is a Mercedes E-Class for couples or small groups, a V-Class when more space or luggage is involved. Journey times are shared in advance so you can plan site visits without guessing.

Flight monitoring applies to the return transfer if you are heading to the airport afterward. Fixed pricing means the fare you agree on before departure is the fare you pay β€” no meter running while you are inside a temple, no surcharge for the mountain road to Termessos.

Childrens seats, a cooler with water, and local knowledge about lesser-known entry points or afternoon crowd patterns all come as standard.

Combining Sites

Perge & Aspendos (the finest Roman theatre in the region, 45 km east) make a natural half-day pair. Phaselis & Olympos work well together for a coastal and ruins combination. Myra with Demre market and a boat trip to Kekova is a full day worth every minute.

We are happy to advise on combinations that suit your pace β€” unhurried is always the right speed for Lycia.
