The
ancient Roman walled city of Side stands on a peninsular flanked
by glorious beaches of golden sand. It was the one time trysting
place of Antony and Cleopatra and the ruins of ancient Hellenistic
port survive. The grandeur of ancient Side's historic remains are
well preserved.
The
city walls have a number of towers still intact and the 20.000 seat
amphitheatre, supported by arched vaults then built in to a hillside,
is a magnificent sight. Side's vast sandy beaches gently shelve
into the warm, clear sea .To the west os the peninsular; the beach
stretches for about 10 km and to the east, the sands are emptier
and stretch all the way to Alanya. Watersports abound in high season
including para sailing and wind surfing and the further from the
town you go the quieter the beach becomes.

There's
no shortage of places to shop, eat and drink. Colourful shops friendly
bars and wide choices of restaurants are located in the colonnaded
main streets and narrow alleyways of the resort centre.
For a romantic evening, sample some excellent swordfish in one of
the superb waterfront restaurants. Nightlife can be as lively and
energetic as you choose with variety of bars and eve a couple of discos.
The unique atmosphere of a colourful, charming village within an ancient
sight and beautiful sandy beaches promises a holiday full of pleasant
surprises. |
