In the morning there were a lot of clouds that covered the sun. We decided with our son to walk through the ancient places of Side. In particular, look at the amphitheater. In 2015, we were in the amphitheater of the ancient city of Phaselis. My wife and I were in Rome in 2016 and visited the Colosseum. So I really wanted to see and compare. We reached the amphitheater quickly. It's impossible to get lost. Entrance to the amphitheater is paid. I have seen this on the Internet in the reviews of tourists. The ticket price was 20 Turkish liras per person. Before us was an organized tour of Russian tourists. But the local was very kind and let me and my son go ahead. while the group was gathering. For this RESPECT and RESPECT. The amphitheater is perhaps the main attraction in Side. It is considered the largest surviving amphitheater in Turkey. At one time, it accommodated 16.000 spectators. Built in the 2nd century AD.
By the way, on the stage of the theater there were not only comedies and tragedies, but also gladiator fights, as well as battles between people and animals. Significantly larger than the amphitheater in Phaselis. And the Colosseum is not far enough. But...an impressive structure. I myself am a native Muscovite. He practically grew up next to the CSKA stadium and the Dynamo stadium, and so the CSKA stadium could accommodate 25.000 spectators. This is the twentieth century. And the amphitheater of Side accommodated 16 thousand spectators, this is the 2nd century AD. What is called - feel the difference. That's how it is. Lively place. Always crowded. Lots of children too. I recommend to look. You will definitely enjoy and remember this visit.
