Side, Antalya, Türkiye
Neighbourhood guide

Side

Side is a small peninsula of Roman streets, a theatre, a temple of Apollo at the water's edge and beaches on both sides. It is easy and family-friendly, but it can feel like a resort. Stay in the old town if you want evenings without traffic, and walk to the temple at sunset.
