The Nymphaeum Fountain
A grand fountain greets you at the doorstep to Side, it's ruins whispering tales of flowing water and festive arrivals. Step into the past and imagine the spectacle as travelers once paused here, awestruck by grandeur and Roman artistry.
Hellenistic Main Gate
Defensive towers and an arched passage set the scene for arrival in ancient Side. Here, every stone has seen parades of traders and centuries of invaders—a true introduction to the city’s story and might.
Colonnaded Street
Wide and storied, this ancient avenue sweeps through Side like a thread connecting the city’s golden moments. It is easy to see why merchants gathered here and neighbors shared news under it's shady arcades.
Vespasian Gate
Walk beneath the remains of a monumental arch—a fusion of civic pride and practical function. Once an imperial honor, then a city fountain, it shows how Side’s landmarks were always evolving—never just ruins, but works in progress.

A marvel of Roman ingenuity rises at the heart of Side, drawing in crowds with echoes of ancient cheers and bold feats. Let us walk among the mighty arches and stands that once dazzled thousands, where history lingers in every stone. The stage is set for a grand tale.
Old Town Side and Harbor
Twisting streets lead you between cozy cafes, lively shops, and crumbling ruins. The harbor sparkles, boats bobbing where Roman galleys once unloaded cargo. There is no better place to soak up Side’s blend of past and present.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Statue
A hero watches over the waterfront, cast in bronze yet alive in memory. Here, the visionary founder of Turkey stands tall, his gaze ever steady, representing transformation and hope for a new era. Pause to feel the power of history in this gathering place.
Apollon Temple Side
The ruins by the sea shimmer in the sunlight, their marble columns framing the sky in classic style. Once a sacred place devoted to gods of light and wisdom, it now stands regal above the waves—a beacon for seekers and sunset lovers alike.

It was good family fun. Great that you can pause to have lunch etc. was fairly easy but didn’t initially realise clues had time limits - hence missed out! Would definitely do another elsewhere.
