Interesting historical place
Take your time - visit the temple of Apollo in Side)! It is small, a small part has been restored, but the photos are divine)! The rays of the sun fall on the columns and slabs so correctly. Plus, there is a promenade nearby with restaurants and cafes - there is where to eat.→

In a good condition
These are several beautiful columns, and several piles of stones. In principle, there are beautiful views in order to arrange a wonderful photo session. But as a historical place to visit, it is not of particular interest.→

For those who have not met the ruins
The ruins of Carthage in Tunisia are many times more attractive and interesting - that's what. And here, most of the "exhibits" are fenced for safety, which spoils the picture and does not allow you to enjoy the history. It's not super interesting if you've seen something like this and didn't really like the railings.→

Side is an open-air city-museum!
A place with amazing energy. For the first time I saw the columns of the temple from the sea. I had the feeling that I had moved 4.000 years ago and sailed from Ancient Greece on a ship ...the next day in the afternoon we left the hotel with my son ourselves in Side - streets, souvenirs, shops with things and bags ...but, as soon as we got to the pier and turned left . . we stopped in shock ...white marble columns, ruins of porticos - a contrast with the blue sea . . it's so beautiful! A huge number of the most valuable and ancient artifacts under your feet, the remains of a temple with jellyfish heads made by stonemasons for 4.→
