Beautiful sunset views!!! Recommend trying to get here for 5.30pm the latest so you fully catch the sunset. We walked down from our hotel Arnor Deluxe in Side which was roughly a 35minute walk. Around the corner is the Side sign and harbour with lots of little shops. The prices are a bit steep as you can get much cheaper elsewhere. Worth the time if you’re going out for a stroll.
There were some quite vicious stray dogs who kept fighting around this area so beware of that.

Amazing historical remains and well preserved. Peaceful on the coastline and easy walking distance from Side hotels or dolmus station. I used Beam scooters and got here easily and zipped around to see it all - cheap and easy. Nice walkways and signage with history. Feels magical and mystical. Nice walkable and enjoyable ruins with shops and bars dotted around nearby.

A beautiful place! The atmosphere of ancient civilization is literally everywhere (!) around you. The route to the Temple of Apollo through the old town of Side is an incredible experience in itself - you literally walk above the ancient city, viewing its ruins through the glass floor beneath your feet. However, I recommend going a bit earlier, perhaps around 5 p.m., because after sunset, the number of tourists is overwhelming, and taking a photo in front of the temple (without hundreds of touri
