If you have a desire not only to relax on a good sandy beach, but also touch the history of the ancient world. If you want to combine bathing in a warm and clean sea with walks on numerous shops and souvenir shops. If you may be interested in free and unobstructed movement in the country with fun on various shows and concerts. That will certainly come to rest in Side.
A huge number of hotels located in the city and its surroundings will help fulfill all these ideas.
My preferences were given to visiting the ancient attractions, such as large architectural structures: the amphitheater, the ruins of temples, gates and fortress walls, as well as smaller artifacts: sculptures, figurines, coins, sarcophagus and household items. And the last of those listed in the large number are collected and presented for everyone to review in the local archaeological museum.
But, that naturally, for many tourists visiting the resorts of Turkey, it was not possible to avoid traveling on the manavgatam (city and river), and walking through sales points, both stationary and temporary, became almost daily pastime in order to obtain pleasure from communicating with visitors and Local people and sellers.
Thus, rest in Side can not be bad by definition.
