What to expect

Ancient Side has hardly changed since its days as a getaway for legendary lovers Antony and Cleopatra. Uncover one of southern Turkey's best-kept secrets with this tour. You'll get to snap photos by the Temple of Apollo, discover the huge Roman theatre and explore modern Side, too. As Muzaffer, one of our guides, says, ‘You'll walk all over history. On the way to the Temple of Apollo, there are glass walkways over ancient Roman streets.'Side's location on a compact little headland is as romantic as it gets. Our expert local guide will give you the lowdown on the long history of this once-busy Roman port. You'll see the marketplace where slaves were traded, the Byzantine hospital and the Vespasian Gate. Then you'll head inside either the ancient theatre, which is a sight to behold – it seated up to 20,000 spectators – or the former bathhouse, which is now a museum with a small but impressive collection of the artefacts dug up here.But one of the most-photographed spots is the Temple of Apollo. Legend says that this second-century seafront shrine was a gift from Antony to Cleopatra. And just beside it is the Temple of Athena – zoom in on the frieze of Medusa heads. Once you've explored the ruins, there'll be free time in modern Side to buy a sizzling kebab at one of the street stalls, or haggle for bargains in the backstreet bazaars. What's more, for your convenience, this is a small group tour to help you follow the guide better and avoid agglomerations.

De begeleiding was prima met een drankje, toegang tot de oude stad en overal voldoende tijd om op je gemak even rond te kijken men foto’s te maken.

Fijne tour met leuke gids. De informatie over de oude stad was interessant en waardevol. Het bezoeken van het theater was echt de moeite waard, net als de tempel. Niet te veel vrije tijd, maar je kan wel doen wat je echt gedaan moet hebben.

Leuke city tour met alle highlight. Wij hadden een Turkse gids die heel goed Nederlands spreekt. Hij kon heel mooi vertellen over alle mooie dingen in Side.

De transfer van en naar Alanya is heel lang! Op de website staat dat het een halve dagexcursie is, maar door de lange busreis ben je een hele dag weg. Ophaaltijd was ca. 07.30u en ik was ca. 16.00u weer terug. De stadswandeling is heel interessant dankzij de goede gids die veel uitleg geeft en een beeld van vroeger schetst. Er is weinig schaduw onderweg, in het hoogseizoen was dat best pittig.

Gids was goed, meeste locaties zijn gratis toegangelijk waardoor de totale prijs van de excursie wel erg duur wordt. Maar het was zeker interessant!!!

Het winkelen was minder leuk. Het was veel te warm om rond te lopen en de prijzen in de winkels zijn enorm hoog. De tijd voor het winkelen was ook te lang. De ruïnes zijn mooi om te zien.

Vragen stellen was geen probleem, hij beantwoordde alles graag voor je en ging er gelijk een gesprekje over aan. Het had voor het geld iets langer gemogen, bijvoorbeeld ook nog het museum erbij.

Niet geschikt voor kinderen in een wandelwagen of voor mensen met een mobiliteisbeperking. Wandeling langs de overblijfselen van Romeinse perk en een (zeer kort) bezoek aan het amfitheater. Daarna is er één a anderhalf uur aan vrije tijd. Naast de Romeinse overblijfselen zijn er de typische touristten winkels met namaak spullen en restaurants.
