Day Trips from Antalya to Side

Take a short trip east from Antalya and you’ll arrive in Side—a resort town where modern boutiques are literally built right over ancient Roman ruins. Day trip itineraries typically feature the Temple of Apollo—which looks particularly stunning against the blue of the Mediterranean—and the massive amphitheater that once accomodated 15,000 spectators. Spend your afternoon wandering the sandy beaches or visiting the nearby Manavgat Waterfall. Side offers the ideal blend culture, archaeology, and a seaside escape, while booking an excursion ensures your journey is seamless, with all travel and navigation along coastal roads covered.
