Hadrian's Gate

A historical site not to be missed. Just off Atatürk Boulevard you’ll see the impressive three double arches of the gates, which were erected in 130 to celebrate the visit of Emperor Hadrian. Legend has it that in ancient times, the queen of Sheba passed through the middle arch on her way to Aspensos and spent a happy night with King Salomon. With the exception of the columns, the arch is made from white marble and is richly decorated.

Don't drive all the way here for the ruin, it's first and foremost a beach. You can see a lot better preserved ruins elsewhere. It's a decent beach though.

Monumental Fountain (Nymphaeum)

Reviewed By KatharineReviews - Newbury, United Kingdom

This is one of the nearest ancient city parts to the parking and public transport area but, along with the Apollo temple and the amphitheatre, one of the most stunning. Great to think how it may have worked when fully functioning but some noticeboards also give guidance. A must-see for any visitor to Side.

Syedra Castle

Reviewed By juliecC5491YF - Stockport, United Kingdom

Not far from Alanya or from the main road, but up a very steep small road winding up the hill through banana plantations, the last bit of which was unpaved. Large car park with toilets. The day we were there it was free to enter. From the car park, there is steep walk up lots of steps though OK underfoot and there were seats on the way up (see photo of steps). Lots of ruins dating from Roman times including a street, also ruined castle, There isnt an awful lot left so you need your imagination though the views up there are to die for. Worth a visit,
