So Perge is basically a major tourist attraction because of its historical past.

Every tourist and visitor who comes to Turkey makes it a point to visit Perge and check out the ruins of this ancient capital. Back in the 12th century BC there was a wave of greek migration to Turkey and many tribes settled down in the region which was then known as Pamphylia and today popular as Antalya. In this region there were four great cities and Perga was one among these. The city is situated far inland and this provided a protection against the various pirate invasions. The famous mathematician Apollonius had once lived and worked in this city or Perga.

Today Perga is an archelogical site which brings in tourists as well as students of history from around the world. It is even found that the biblical books show a record of St. Paul the Apostle and his companions visiting the city of Perga to preach Christianity. There is the ruin of a granite structure that can be seen on the acropolis which is regarded as either the ruins of a temple of the Goddess Leto of maybe the ruins of a church. A visitor can always hire a car to reach this site.
