The ancient theater in Side is not just an attraction, it is a living piece of history that allows you to plunge into the atmosphere of the past. I recommend visiting it to anyone who is interested in ancient culture and wants to feel the spirit of ancient times.
I really enjoyed the ruins of the old town. It makes a very strong impression, and everyone who comes to Turkey, and especially to Side, must visit. Touch the history.
The amphitheater is impressive, very well preserved, such places always evoke awe and respect inside. But the entrance fee is inadequate – 17 euros for just walking up the stairs is too much. They say that the same price also included a visit to the museum, but it was under reconstruction. It is unclear why the entrance fee was not reduced.
And also, tourists, be careful! Here, payment can only be made in lira, euros are not accepted in cash. They paid for two tickets in lira and only then recalculated that the employees of the amphitheater had set a rate of 48 lira per euro, whereas everywhere there was a rate of 38. It's a shame, we overpaid on the course, and we haven't visited the museum yet.
