 Side: (70 mins from Antalya airport). Once an outpost of the Roman Empire, Side offers a seductive cocktail of sun, sea, sand and culture. Walk in the footsteps of history and stroll around the famous theatre. In fact in the heart of Side you will find impressive, well-preserved Roman remains around every corner you turn. Old narrow streets lead down to the harbour lending Side a charming village atmosphere. Long wide golden beaches extend for miles either side of the old town, dipping gently down to a shallow sea, making it very suitable for children. Coastguard stations are positioned at fairly regular intervals along the beach. You'll find a great choice of restaurants and bars, both here and on the waterfront and some excellent shopping in the back streets. In the old town, it's "open all hours" for carpets, jewellery, leather, brassware and all kinds of trinkets. As usual, browsing is near impossible on account of the constant hard-selling techniques of the hawkers. Don't miss a walk down by the remains of Apollo's Temple at sunset! Crowds thronging the small streets, glittering lights around the harbour, lots of bars and restaurants and there are several nightclubs and music bars.
