About the tour

Side is an ancient city on a small cape west of Alanya. The columns of the Temple of Apollo stand right by the sea; nearby are a large Roman theatre and the old city gate. Between the ruins run the streets of the old town, with shops, cafés and a harbour.

After the old town comes lunch by the waterfalls, with time for a swim. Entry to the Roman theatre is paid separately.
