Many thanks to the previous two reviews! Thanks to them, we managed to go to Side and save a lot of money. That's why I decided to share my experience. From the hotel, a trip to Side costs 40 euros or 45 dollars. There is a taxi driver standing near this stop who calls the same amounts, but you can bargain with him. But we decided to take the bus anyway. 1. Buses do not enter the pocket, stand on the main road 2. Minibuses are mostly marked "Manavgat" or "Side". But they can be without an inscription. 3. When approaching a bus stop, the lights either honk or flash 4. Be sure to wave your hand so that it stops. 5. From this stop you will only get to Manavgat Bus Station. There are no direct routes to Side. It takes about 20 minutes to drive. The bus station on the maps and the bus station where you will be dropped off are different places, don't worry. They'll drop you off at the end, but you won't pass by. 6. There are many other minibuses and buses at this bus station. They have signs on the windshield that say "Side". And the drivers themselves are shouting "Side, Side." It takes another 20-30 minutes on this bus. Get off at the stop of the ancient city, there will be a tourist area and many other buses, it is also difficult to make a mistake. 7. It is better to pay for travel in lira. 90 lire (if I'm not mistaken) + children are free. But they also accept dollars. It cost $5 to get from Chenger to Manavgat. Manavgat - Side $4 (2 adults + child) 8. We were with a child for 3 years. The road is very comfortable. In Turkey, we always try to travel by public transport to experience the local flavor. 9. I can also advise you to take a walk around Manavgat itself. Unfortunately, we didn't have time, but we took the bus right through the city and in my opinion it's even more interesting there than in Side. Have a good rest!

Stop for a trip to Manavgat (bus Alanya-Manavgat). Go out to the edge of the wide roadway, to the understudy where the bus stop is located, the bus does not enter. The cost of 1 ticket from here to Manavgat is 80 liras (June 2025). Be careful to get to Side (the ancient city), you first need to get to Manavgat (bus station), then transfer to another bus and get directly to Side.
