Bringing you
the best of
Side, Turkey
Welcome to one of the oldest holiday resorts in the world – what else can you say about the place where legend says that Cleopatra bathed in the sea with Mark Antony! Of course Side has grown a bit since then but the old town of Side remains a joy with the ancient roman ruins mixed in ?between bars, restaurants and shops. The main area of the town is pedestrianised and it's a wonderful place to visit in the early evening to window shop, buy some bargains, have a drink or grab a bite to eat. It has a great atmosphere but it can get busy in the height of the season.
The beaches are situated to the east and west of the old town – to the west is the main hotel area so the beaches are busier with more activities. To the east the beach is undeveloped and much quieter and you can wander amongst the sand dunes to be surprised by ancient ruins.
Although we do offer some accommodation in the old town most of the hotels and holiday apartments are outside the town. Side is a well established holiday resort and has a wide selection of shopping opportunities, bars and restaurants to suit the very cosmopolitan collection of holidaymakers who visit the area.
Sightseeing & Activities
Lovers of history will love the opportunity to just wander around in Side, but to understand the history of the place a guided tour helps to get a sense of perspective. Visitors should also take the opportunity to see Perge another wonderful ancient site, where St Paul preached his first sermon, or Termessos an old fortress city high in the hills. As an alternative to history take a day trip on the Manavgat River, visit the pretty village of Manavgat and the famous waterfalls. With such a fantastic beach area there is a wide selection of watersports available to suit all age groups. See your Holidays 4U representative when you arrive to get all the details and make your bookings.
