Side is a city on the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey, it lies near Manavgat and the village of Selimiye, 75 kilometers away from Antalya. Some of the sites open from 0830-1730. It includes the modern resort town and the ruins of the ancient city of Side, one of the best known classical sites in the country. The first thing that comes to mind when mentioning Side is the Temple of Apollo and Athena. Even if there are several columns left from the temple, you will be amazed at its magnificence. You can have a boat ride around at its harbour or visit the sea front restaurants and cafes. It retains many relics from the days when the cities flourished as a center of trade, other historic buildings situated on a vast area of the Side peninsula.

Roman ruins in a beautiful coast town
side is known for their Greco-Roman ruins. the city itself is just gorgeous, which located in the coastline on Turkey’s southern Mediterranean Sea. we rent a car and drove all the way from Antalya to side, it only took us an hour and half. the architecture here is beautiful as well. there are lots of cute cafes and restaurants overlook the sea. after walking pass by the old town, you will reach the most famous site in Side - Apollon temple. this is the perfect place for people to watch sunset. we watched sunset here and flew the drone. with the palm trees in the background, the ruins look extremely beautiful. overall, those Roman ruins are worth the visit, at night they will be illuminated. this entire town is just lovely #tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #mytripvlog #beachlife

Pocket Change Türkiye Style
We travel to and thru Türkiye in the way to Asia and back to Europe. So many sites and sights to see, explore and appreciate...some of our favs are Konya, Göreme and Side. Konya has everything Rumi - become a Sufi and better human being. Rumi said we'd find him in the hearts of the Sufis! Göreme is in Cappadocia and has amazing caves and fairy chimneys from ancient volcanic activity. Side (see-day) is an ancient city on the Mediterranean between modern day Antalya and Alanya. Explore the vast ruins and enjoy the beach scene. Our apartment had an outdoor kitchen - fun - we cooked vegan! The currency of Türkiye is Lirasi and coinage Kurus (shown above). Prices are fair and exchange rates favorable to foreign travelers. Pleasant Journeys!#mytripvlog #turkiye #Sufi #travelinspiration #currency

Charming Old Town With Stunning Night View
📍Old Town Of Side The heart of Side is its charming old town, where you can wander through narrow streets lined with historic buildings, browse boutique shops, and sample delicious local cuisine. With its 3,500 years of history, Side's old town will amaze you with ancient ruins from Roman and Byzantine times. These include: Commercial Agora: The cultural and economic center of the city and a popular meeting place during the Roman period. It's located next to the ancient theater and houses a lot of ruins, such as the temple of Tyche, and a well preserved market street. State Agora: Southeast of the Commercial Agora are the remains of the second-century State Agora, that was reserved for the elite circles in the city. Monumental Fountain (Nymphaeum): Near the outer city walls, you can find part of the Roman aqueducts dating from the 2nd century AD. Roman Baths: The Roman Baths opposite the Commercial Agora probably date back to the 5th century. Since 1962, it has served as the Side Museum. City Walls: Construction of the once six-kilometer-long city wall began in the late first century. It served to protect the city and some of it can still be visited today. City Gate: Located near the Nymphaeum, the large main gate was first built as a free-standing structure and only later integrated into the city wall. Colonnaded Road: A marble-paved street framed by columns that once led from the city gate to the old city center. Today, remains of the columns with original mosaics can still be seen and are a very popular photo motif. South Basilica: This basilica was built right next to the two main Roman temples in the city, which were later incorporated into the atrium of the Byzantine church. Monumental Gate: It was built on the Commercial Agora. Today, only the foundation walls are preserved. Vespasian Monument & Gate: A fountain was erected next to the inner city gate in honor of the Roman Emperor, Vespasian. Temple of Dionysus: Remains of the early Roman temple dedicated to the god of wine near the ancient theater. Temple of Men: Along Barbaros Caddesi, you will find remains of a temple that was dedicated to Men, an Anatolian deity of the Moon. In conclusion, Side Old Town is surely a hidden gem lying in wait for the tourists to explore, so keep it on your places to visit when you happen to go to Türkiye in future! #turkiye #antalya #side #Sidenighttour #sidetrip #byzantine #byzantineemperor #byzantineheritage #romanempire #roman #romancity #Romanheritage #oldtown #romanbath #tample #Appllo #Citygate #historytour #history
