Hace casi dos milenios, Plancia Magna abrió un nuevo camino al causar un sorprendente impacto en la ciudad de Perge, a pesar del papel pasivo habitual de las mujeres en aquella época. Nació en el seno de una familia rica y poderosa, pero en lugar de llevar la típica vida fácil, utilizó su posición privilegiada en beneficio de la ciudad. Su valentía, su independencia y su carácter fueron apreciadas mucho después de su época, e inspiraron a mujeres con el paso de los años a buscar papeles influyentes en la sociedad.
Un guía, formado en National Geographic, te enseñará la antigua ciudad de Perge centrándose en la vida y el legado de Plancia Magna, una figura motivadora incluso en la actualidad. Y es que, quizás, Plancia fuera una fuente de inspiración para Hatice Adıgüzel, cuyo taller visitarás después. Descubre la destreza y el arte necesarios para crear lámparas y adornos de jardín a partir de calabazas, y escucha de la propia Hatice que lo que distingue a su negocio es su liderazgo en un entorno laboral dominado por hombres, así como su compromiso por la motivación de las mujeres locales y la elección de materiales sostenibles.
Durante un taller práctico, tendrás la oportunidad de hacer tu propia calabaza decorativa y aprender más sobre el trabajo de Hatice con la comunidad local de mujeres. Hatice retribuye su éxito contratando a mujeres de la zona para que decoren las calabazas desde sus casas para su negocio. También preparan los aperitivos que disfrutarás durante el taller. El objetivo de Hatice es ayudar a las mujeres que no pueden trabajar en un empleo convencional por tener que cuidar a sus hijos o por otras limitaciones similares, ofreciéndoles así una forma cómoda de ganarse la vida.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Women of Antalya, Past to Present
Nearly two millennia ago, Plancia Magna blazed a trail by making an impressive impact on the city of Perge despite the usual passive role of women at that time. She was born into a wealthy, powerful family, but instead of an easy life, she used her privilege to benefit her city. Her courage, independence and character was celebrated long after her time, and inspired women through the ages to seek influential roles in society. Your National Geographic-trained guide will reveal the ancient city of Perge with a focus on the life and legacy of Plancia Magna, an inspirational figure even today. Perhaps Plancia was a source of inspiration for Hatice Adıgüzel, whose workshop you will visit next. Discover the skills and artistry involved in creating lamps and garden ornaments from gourds, and learn from Hatice herself what sets her business apart - her leadership in a male-dominated workforce, her commitment to empowering local women and her choice of sustainable materials. During a hands-on workshop, you will have the opportunity to create your own decorative gourd and learn more about Hatice's work with the local women's community. She pays her success forward by employing women to grow and decorate the gourds from their own homes for the business. They also make the snacks you'll enjoy during the workshop. Hatice's aim is to help women who are unable to work in regular employment due to childcare commitments or similar restrictions by giving them a convenient way to earn.

Narin, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Oymapinar Dam Lake is one of the largest reservoirs in Turkey, covering an area of approximately 19 square kilometres.
