It is a very interesting place, if you are in this region, you should definitely go to the ancient city of Side. The amphitheater is huge. A footpath runs along a shopping street with remnants of shops, and small alleys run sideways from it. You can imagine your past life directly. There are many different ruins in different parts. We went by ourselves, it would be very interesting with a good guide. The town around the port is built of stylized houses, they are modern, but made according to the patterns of the old ones. If you get off the main tourist routes, you can find really old houses. There is an infrastructure for wild tourists - an information center with toilets and snacks, convenient parking for minibuses in different directions, it is difficult to get lost.

Part of the museum with air conditioning. This is a big plus. Inside there is a set of interesting sculptures and a treasure trove of coins. Household items and weapons, everything is as usual in the museums of antiquity. Previously, there was a skeleton of the defender of the city, which was found during excavations inside the bathhouse pool. His son remembered him at the age of 5, and at the age of 8 he really wanted to visit, but the Turks realized that it was unethical to expose him, nevertheless they destroyed the city. And now there's no skeleton, you don't have to look for it anymore. He discovered an altar of a Hittite deity with a recess for blood or wine, became imbued with energy and donated 5 rubles. Rubles and euros are not accepted, only Lira. If antiquity is at least a little interesting, it is a must-visit for all vacationers, buses from all hotels on the coast take you here.
