From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Perga
    the capital of Pamphylia, on the coast of Asia Minor. Paul and
    his companions landed at this place from Cyprus on their first
    missionary journey (Acts 13:13, 14), and here Mark forsook the
    party and returned to Jerusalem. Some time afterwards Paul and
    Barnabas again visited this city and "preached the word"
    (14:25). It stood on the banks of the river Cestrus, some 7
    miles from its mouth, and was a place of some commercial
    importance. It is now a ruin, called Eski Kalessi.

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
