Living in Side
Side is a beautiful upmarket
resort situated on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. It lies between
the two major resorts of Antalya and Alanya. The resort itself dates back
to the Roman Empire when it was a very important trading port, much evidence
of this period still remains standing with many more ruins being excuvated.
One of the evident land marks of this time is Side's beautiful well preserved
amphitheatre, which is still used for concerts during the summer months,
with a music festival taking place during the month of September.
A stroll down the main
street of Side will bring you to the pretty harbour with many resturaunts
overlooking the bay. Adjacent to the harbour is the famous Apollo temple
where it is said Mark Anthony proposed to Cleopatra. Walk around the side
streets and you will see many old original Turkish houses, some of which
have been turned into small pensions.
Whether you want five
star luxury or the simple life style, Side can offer it to you.
There are many activities
on offer such as diving, quad biking, horse riding, white water rafting,
para sailing, jeep safaris and the beautiful taurus mountains where you
can ski in the winter months at Saklikent which is just one and a half
hours from Side.
If you intend to buy an
investment or holiday property in Turkey, you could not choose better
than Side.
