Side is a small town on the peninsula, 75 km from Antalya, one of the most lively resorts of the south of Turkey. It is also an "open-air museum", the main archeological zone of Turkey, carefully guarded by the government. At the same time, Side hotels are suitable for all tastes: from high-rise multi-level complexes to aparthotels.
Excellent sandy beaches are to the west of Side, but there is a heap of hotels and therefore crowded. Beaches in the east are always less filled and, as a result, much more pleasant. In addition to the very center of Side, the resort includes a whole scattering of pretty beaches, recently gaining increasing popularity - it is (from the west to the east) Cholakly, Kumkoy, Sorgun, Kyzylagach and Kizilot.

Beaches Side
Turkey is famous for its long and sandy beaches. Around the old town of Side are two main beaches: east and west. And although these two beaches are close to each other, their characteristics vary. The western beach is considered safe and the sea is shallow, which is why it is very popular.
In the high season, both beaches are filled to the eyeballs. There are many sports services offered here - you can try yourself in sailing and water skiing, go diving, fishing or go on boat trips. For those who prefer peace and quiet, it is worth to go a little farther from the crowd of vacationers, along the coastline, to where one of the most beautiful turtle beaches is located in the entire Mediterranean.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions Side
Today, as in olden times, the ancient city of Side is located on a small stretch of the peninsula - stretching from north to south, it occupies about 1 km in length and 400 m in width. From the rest of the mainland, the city is separated by a wall and moat. To our days, many interesting objects have been preserved in Side.
The well-preserved main gate of the Hellenistic period leading from the colonnade stretches to the territory of the archaeological complex. From the columns, here, however, only fragments remain. Further, the street leads to the public baths, which now houses a museum. Behind the baths is the agora with the remnants of the temple Tikhe and Fortuna (2nd century BC), in the middle of which there is a round room with twelve columns. In later times this space was used as a trading place where pirates sold slaves
Next to the theater is the Roman temple of Dionysus, the entrance to which is adorned with a restored fountain. On the left side there are ruins of the Byzantine basilica. Other ruins Side includes three other temples, an aqueduct and a fountain, which was an artificially created grotto with a source dedicated to nymphs.
