In Side, yes, if you are planning a vacation with a child, it is definitely worth going. The advantage of Side in front of other resort areas of the entire Mediterranean coast of Turkey is undoubtedly the sea. Here is a sandy bottom, and the goal is gentle. All you go are to go, but there are no depths. Children here are Razdat. Side for the quality of the seabed reminds Anapa.
In addition to the sea, there is also their advantages in terms of attractions. If you are not third-party sightseeing tours, then you are at this resort. The historic part of the city contains the most significant buildings that can be found in Turkey. It has its own alley of columns, passing through which you will go to the triumphal arch.
A lot of warriors took place through it, residents met them with the victory.
To the left of the arch - amphitheater. It is natural, in a dilapidated form, but restoration work is underway. It is so noteworthy that photographs with him can be seen from most of the acquaintances, at least once resting in Side.
At the historic part of the city runs a mini-bus. It is for those who are completely lazy to make a hiking promenade.
Already closer to the sea is located once the pampneous temple of Apollo, or rather, its remains - 5 columns and architects (top), ornamented by flowers and images of the jellyfish heads.
If you wander up by the sea, you can find quite a few fragments of once architectural structures. To "consolidate" in the very consciousness of the spirit of antiquity, you can dine or rebound in a cafe decorated in an antique style.
In the rest of the other, Side is similar to other cities of the Antalya coast. For tourists there are many hotels of different categories, including club-type with huge territories. Most of the vacationers and does not go beyond the hotel, using internal infrastructure, and in vain. I know those from among your friends. To be in such an old city and not to see all his charms and beauty, this is a movietone. A civilized, cultural person must constantly replenish the base of his knowledge, the more Turkey is a storehouse of information.
In the town, especially closer to the embankment, a variety of cafes in which seafood can be ordered. All fresh and tasty cooked. In the evenings after sunset, life here "boats." Even more actively than the day the traders are working, calling tourists to make acquisitions in their stores. Souvenirs, dishes, leather goods, shoes, clothing - just a lot about democratic prices.
With regards to money, despite the fact that in the course of dollars, many merchants would like to get euro from you. It is much more profitable.
There is a municipal beach in Side. Full, clean and well-groomed. The services of vacationers and sun loungers for 1 euro per day. The advantages of relaxation in such a beach - the ability to choose the best place is not attached to the hotel. But taste and color .... choice for each. Also, like everywhere, a lot of rental points of boats, scooters. There are playgrounds with attractions, park areas.
Resting is still better than the company. Even being with her men, constantly experiencing obsession from Turkish "gentlemen". Many of them do not mind at the expense of some ladies to spend several days at the hotel, restaurants. But many ladies, including Russian, go here and for such attention. This is practiced in many resort countries, not only in Turkey.
Nevertheless, the rest here is most comfortable.
