The ancient city of Side is a must-visit, colorful for lovers of antiquity and wonderful for those who like to walk. There is a large parking lot at the entrance. We recommend walking there (~ 15 min.) to the center of the old town, and back to buy a ticket for cars (small cars with 5-6 seats). The ruins are impressive, especially the huge amphitheater (they did not go inside, since 17 euros per person) and the temple of Apollo. Walking through the streets of ancient Side is a pleasure, small stone houses, cafes, shops.
An atmospheric place! As a lover of the history of the ancient world, I really liked it here. A good place for walking, you can go shopping and just sit on the beach.
It can be seen that the ancient ruins are in good condition, restoration work does not stop, there were many workers in February 2023. Definitely, even if you are passing through Manavgat, it is worth stopping here and touching the history!
The beautiful old part of the city, beautiful streets, stunning views of the sea and streets. Any place is a background for a photo shoot. There are many cafes, restaurants, shops. We were in July, it's very hot, so it's better to go early in the morning or evening. There is a bus station nearby, the drivers will tell you how to get there, where to go back. Minibuses (dolmushi) run frequently.
