Side Holidays

As one of the best-known classical sites in Turkey, this Mediterranean coastal resort bestows endless archaeological wonders. The ancient city of Side sits proudly in the centre with its 2nd century Antique Theatre and colossal marble Temple of Athena.

Medieval relics are sprinkled throughout this historical hotspot, but did you know Side sits on a peninsula? Not only famous for its old-world remains, buts its Blue Flag stretches sitting either side of the Old Town are a natural marval.

Overflowing with chic boutiques, elite restaurants and waterfront bars boasting an electric nightlife – there’s no shortage of fun to be had. Backed by the Taurus Mountains, the city of Antalya and its Roman harbour are just 30 minutes away.
