Top 10 Private Tours in Side, Turkish Mediterranean Coast
Approximately 60 miles east of Antalya lies Side, another once important port town in antiquity. Side has become a popular holiday destination all by itself, but is well worth a day trip from Antalya. The village offers picturesque, narrow streets and lovely gardens while the long, white beaches invite swimming. Imposing monuments of antiquity, such as the Roman bath and the columns of the Apollo temple by the sea, complete the picture of a perfect combination of modern-day vacation pleasure and the treasures of history.

I booked this tour as a private tour and I am absolutely thrilled. Already at the pick-up you feel like a VIP because of the spacious vehicle. The catering is fully included and very good despite current legal restrictions. Great importance is attached to hygiene measures for pandemic prevention without having to have any significant restrictions on the experience. The guide speaks perfect German. Apart from that, he also speaks several other languages fluently. He really has an extensive expertise. You can have an excellent conversation about the cultures, mythologies as well as art. Although several sites are visited that are a bit far from each other, one is at the sights most of the time. The ancient buildings are fascinating and it is an indescribable feeling to stand in the middle of an ancient trade route while the guide describes life and events there at that time. At least as impressive are the waterfalls surrounded by nature and a park that invites you to explore. For cultural tourists, this tour is without a doubt a must.

Our first time in Turkey was AMAZING, exceeded our expectations in so many ways. All the places We visited were absolutely beautiful, the hospitality, the culture, the people are super nice. The Jeepsafari in Cappadoccia, the hot air balloons in Pamukkale, THE TURKISH BATH and the Galata tower are highly recommended. WE WANT TO GO BACK!!! Alí was our private tour guide and He was excellent. He's very nice, professional and knowledgeable (and very patient with my girls and I lol We didn't stop talking and singing) Our designated driver was very friendly as well and polite. Overall, AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE! MARAVILLOSO! ????????

Your full day excursion begins in the early morning when you’re picked up at your hotel and begin the drive to Pamukkale. After a lunch break you’ll visit the cascading snow-white terraced cliffs of this mysterious Cotton Palace. The calcite-laden waters that had created this unreal landscape come from springs located in a 200-meter high cliff that overlooks the plain. Marvel at the mineral forests, petrified waterfalls and the series of terraced basins created by these waters. At the end of the 2nd century B.C. the kings of Pergamon established the thermal spa of Hierapolis. The ruins of the baths, temples and other Greek monuments can be seen at the site. The temples were significant trade centers for ancient Hierapolis. See the Roman theater, the Apollo temple, Roman baths, fountains and the agora. After the tour, have a chance to swim in thermal pools. An additional option is to swim in Cleopatra’s Pool, for an extra fee.
Inclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off, Entrance fees to Pamukkale & Hierapolis, Professional guide, Lunch
