Side is a resort center on the Turkish southern coast, which is washed by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. We chose our May holidays to the Side Resort and did not regret it at all, because they got a lot of opportunities for every taste - enjoy the beach holiday, visit historical sights to admire the majestic architecture, taste the local cuisine in numerous cafes and restaurants, and also do shopping .
The name of the resort (Side) on the ancient Greek means "grenade". Soil here has always been fertile, so many thousands of years ago ancient Greeks settled on this territory. Side in antiquity was known as a shopping center, he had its own currency - a coin depicting a grenade.
Resting in Side, be sure to visit the temple of Apollo, or rather, his ruins. This is a very romantic place. According to the legend, Cleopatatra just got a date Mark Anthony arranged.
Then the ancient Romans ruled in Side. They left their descendants a lot of attractions - for example, the Roman theater is huge for those standards. He could simultaneously accommodate up to sixteen thousand spectators. Solid figure for those times. The Romans built their famous Roman baths in Side.
Beach holidays in Side pleased us with an excellent sandy beach and slightly cool May sea. Sunset in the sea smooth and gently, ideal for children. Side hotels for the most part have well-equipped beaches with a good level of service. Of course, it is worth choosing hotels with four or five stars, not lower.
Side - the town is small, so prices in the shops and shops are overestimated - the result of a lack of competition. In addition, the range of goods is not very wide. But there are certain advantages - because of the small sizes of the town you will not have to shop for a long time and painfully shopping, the outlets are compactly located in three places - one on the waterfront, the second on the bulb. Ataturk, third on a column street.
Boldly go to rest in Side, he will leave a lot of pleasant memories.
