About this audio guide
This guide to the Ataturk House in Antalya opens in March 1930, when the city scrubbed a governor's villa clean for Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's first visit to the coast. You'll hear about the week he spent walking the citrus groves, meeting farmers, and pushing for the Roman theatre at Aspendos to be restored, plus the two return visits that followed. The original building didn't survive a 1980s street-widening project, and what stands today is a careful reconstruction on the same footprint.
