Fascinating, Charming, Pretty And Lively...
Side holidays will take you to a fascinating historical town with wonderful beaches, charming fishing harbour, pretty scenery and great nightlife. Located on a promontory in the Antalya region of Turkey, Side has beaches along both sides which are tipped by the bustling harbour. Water sports are available with parasailing, jet skiing, windsurfing and banana boat rides being most popular. Side lies at the foothills of the looming Taurus Mountains that offer amazing trails through countryside littered with caves and waterfalls, ideal for walking or horse riding. Jeep safaris will take you up the mountain tracks where you'll also find quad biking and water rafting available. Boat trips to the Manavgat Waterfall are highly recommended. The narrow streets are alive with shops and market stalls where you can barter for designer fake goods including handbags and jewellery, with locally made carpets a speciality. Children and adults will both enjoy the camel rides along the beach.
Holidays in Side will find you exploring historical sites like the remains of the Roman theatre and forum, the old bath house, now a museum, the pretty Nymphaeum, or public fountain, with the Temples of Apollo and Athena just near the harbour, and city walls dating back to 2BC.
