A working Roman ruin with a beach on either side of it.
Side is built directly on and around the ruins of an ancient port town — the Temple of Apollo stands right on the harbor at sunset, and the old town's cobblestone lanes are lined with the remains of Roman walls and a well-preserved amphitheatre.
It's about 65 km, just over an hour, from Antalya Airport. Sandy beaches run along both sides of the peninsula, and the old town has one of the coast's liveliest evening strips of cafes, shops and restaurants.
Iconic harborside ruin, especially striking at sunset.
One of the largest ancient theatres on the Turkish coast, still used for events.
Cobblestone streets mixing ruins, boutiques and seafront restaurants.
Sandy stretches on both the east and west sides of the peninsula.
