What to do and see in Side, Turkish Mediterranean Coast: The Best Things to do Good for Couples

April 15, 2022 Sheron Bogner

Approximately 60 miles east of Antalya lies Side, another once important port town in antiquity. Side has become a popular holiday destination all by itself, but is well worth a day trip from Antalya. The village offers picturesque, narrow streets and lovely gardens while the long, white beaches invite swimming. Imposing monuments of antiquity, such as the Roman bath and the columns of the Apollo temple by the sea, complete the picture of a perfect combination of modern-day vacation pleasure and the treasures of history.

Visited here today with my stepmum. The Balinese girls were lovely and very skilled, and the manager really friendly. Whole place is spotless and you are well looked after- it was my first experience of a Hammam. We chose a package which included a sauna, foam scrub, and mixed massage with a couple of periods of relaxation on loungers in between and apple tea and a fruit platter while our face masks set at the end. The manager picked us up in his car from our apartment and delivered us back. They prefer cash payment to cards so bear that in mind. Not a budget option but we were offered 30% off our next treatments and it was well worth the money for the experience- we would certainly not hesitate to recommend.

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.

Sultan Hamam

Reviewed By martinpT5768VZ

After viewing reviews we walked around to Sultan Hammam to have a look and maybe book a Turkish bath and massage. We were so happy with everything that we saw including hygiene, amenities and professionalism that we actually paid to have the experience there and then. We waited for a small time for them to fit us in but it was worth the wait. I hadn't had a Turkish bath before, my partner persuaded me to try it early on in our holiday. I was fantastic. so relaxing and soothing. The massage took away all the stresses and strains of work which prepared me for the rest of my holiday. Thoroughly recommended.

Vespasianus Aniti

Reviewed By Lane-English - Huddersfield, United Kingdom

The archway that is a beacon for tourists trying to get an amazing photo is on a busy road. There is a pathway to the side that is wide enough to allow people to take photos whilst other walk past. The archway itself has obviously been altered to look the way it does and in my opinion is probably to strengthen the site and to avoid accidental damage caused by motorist. Still, it is rather beautiful and worthy of a visit. Whilst waiting your turn to get a photo here (it does get busy but doesn't seem to have impatient people pushing in if the see you waiting) it is thoroughly entertaining watching the vehicles creating gridlock and beeping horns as it's every driver for themselves to get through the archway. The bonus of this place is that it is free to visit and the amphitheatre is literally next to it. The whole area by this is a mixture of building and ruins that are mostly free to visit.

Side Antik Kenti

Reviewed By FlippertyG - Carlisle, United Kingdom

Side old town is peppered with ancient ruins and monuments. As soon as you disembark from the dolmus at the bus station you will find history in front of you The ancient city, is very much still visible. You can take the main road to the left and walk along the colonnaded streets to the ampitheatre, or take a detour among the fields around the bus station and explore the ancient houses, hospitals, churches. You can spend all day here just wandering from ruin to ruin. The stones are a haven for lizards who bask in the sun, and the birdlife is amazing too. The paved streets of the ancient romans are still in tact, and many of the old pillars still stand along the sides of the streets. The ampitheatre is a must see, and as you head down the peninsula to the see you will find the beautiful temple of apollo- a great place to see the sun set. Interspersed with the ancient ruins are modern souvenir stalls and cafes, so you can spend all day here at your leisure and even take a dip in the sea, soak up the sun or visit the harbour. Beautiful place to visit
