🏛️ Side: A Mediterranean Gem Where History Meets the Sea
Located on the southwestern coast of Turkey, Side is a captivating seaside town that combines the charm of ancient history with the comforts of a modern vacation. Set just west of the mouth of the Manavgat River and around 75 km from Antalya, Side offers a unique blend of archaeology, beaches, and culture.
🏺 A Walk Through Ancient Times
With a history dating back to the 7th century BC, Side has been home to several major civilizations, including the Lydians, Persians, Romans, Byzantines, and Seljuks. The name "Side" means “pomegranate” in the ancient Anatolian language. According to local legend, Side was a nature goddess who transformed herself into a pomegranate tree—symbolizing fertility, life, and abundance.
Among its most iconic landmarks are the Temple of Apollo and Athena, located near the ancient harbor. At sunrise or sunset, these ruins create a picture-perfect backdrop. Don’t miss the Roman Theater, the largest of its kind in the region, capable of hosting up to 15,000 spectators. Built in the 2nd century CE, it’s one of the best-preserved ruins in Side.
🏖️ Sandy Beaches & Natural Wonders
Side is equally famous for its soft sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. East Beach is the most popular, buzzing with sunbeds, beach bars, and water sports. But if you're seeking tranquility, you can reach quieter coves by car or with a private transfer.
Nature lovers will enjoy nearby attractions like the Manavgat Waterfalls and Köprülü Canyon National Park. You can have a picnic by the waterfalls or go white-water rafting in the canyon. For hikers and photographers, these areas offer unspoiled landscapes and peaceful forest paths.
