What to do and see in Side, Turkish Mediterranean Coast: The Best Day Trips from
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.

Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy this boat to the fullest due to Covid restrictions and some things not being allowed, such as the foam party. This was part of the reason we booked it for my son - however there wasn't really much children's entertainment either so that was a bit of a disappointment. However, the staff were friendly enough and still had good banter with the kids, especially Jack Sparrow and the guy who was doing the photography. The photos were nice but I think a tad over priced for me personally. But it was a nice momento for my son as it was his first time in Turkey and also out on boats at sea and swimming in the sea. The staff were very encouraging and helped get him in to the way as he was a bit apprehensive about it. We also enjoyed a short shopping trip at a small village, and lunch was lovely.

We did the rafting trip today and had such a good day. From the beginning organising the trip via Trip Advisor was easy, we booked and paid via the app. We then received regular communication from the organiser and pick up was as advised. The rafting was longer than expected and was thoroughly enjoyed by 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Lunch at the end was good and also suited myself being a vegetarian too. Would love to do the trip again if we are ever back in Side and would recommend Alya Travel too, it was easy to book with her and well organised. This trip will be a lovely menory for us.

You’ll be picked up in front of your hotel by a comfortable cabrio bus. First stop is a beautiful Mosque you’ll visit. Experience the local culture and beliefs, then you’ll be driven to the Manavgat Waterfall. Although the fall has only a few meters height, the natural beauty of this place will catch you. Its flow is high enough to create the typical sound and foaming water. Next, you’ll view Aqueducts from ancient Roman times as well as an old village house, where history comes to life again in seleukeia ( lybre ). Then you’ll reach to Green Lake, which has been built by humans. Enjoy the peace and calmness of this place and have lunch in the Green Lake restaurant.
