Beaches and Activities
Two long, wide, golden beaches extend for miles either side of the old town of Side. They dip gently down to a shallow sea, making them very suitable for children. The beaches are lined with restaurants and offer boat trips, windsurfing, parasailing, banana boats, jet skis, pedalos, basketball, snorkelling, scuba diving and horse riding.
There are also two new golf courses due to be finished shortly.
Shopping
Side is a 45 minute stroll along the beach away. The town can also be easily accessed in ten minutes by local bus (dolmus) or taxi. The old town of Side is open every day for the sale of carpets, rugs, jewellery, leather, shoes, brassware and cheap fake designer clothing. A local Saturday market supplies fresh food and there is a large supermarket nearby.
Sight-Seeing
Side is a great place for both archaeology buffs and beach-lovers. The old part of the town, dominated by a Greco-Roman amphitheatre, has been occupied on and off for well over 2,000 years. The thriving present-day town combines many ancient walls and buildings with modern structures. The temple of Apollo and the harbour offer perfect vantage points to watch the sun go down. There are many restaurants, bars and cafes.
