Why you’ll love this…
  • A short guided walking tour of Side old town is included in this tour
  • You'll have a chance to see the Temple of Apollo
  • There's free time to explore Side on your own
  • Your chance to grab a bargain - this tour is a good shopping opportunity
What to expect

Side is a must-see. And what makes it so appealing is that its archaeological relics are scattered around its compact old town. This half-day excursion takes you to this history-drenched headland, where you'll even get to visit a textiles centre and a jewellery or leather centre.

After pick-up, we'll drop into a jewellery or leather centre for a browse. Here, you'll be greeted by eager staff ready to show off their gleaming collections. Don't miss out on exploring – gold and leather are especially good finds in Turkey, thanks to prices much friendlier than Europe. And remember, haggling isn't just accepted; it's expected, so flex those negotiation skills for the best deals. We'll also pop by a textile centre for a chance to grab some bargains on the latest fashion trends.

Next, head to Side old town for a guided walk. Look out for the Temple of Apollo. Possibly one of the most romantic spots on the Mediterranean coast, it's said that Antony and Cleopatra held love trysts under the temple's shining white columns. Apart from ancient ruins, the picturesque narrow lanes of this once-quiet fishing village are a hive of activity and ideal for a spot of souvenir hunting. You'll have free time to explore on your own – check out the museum in a restored bathhouse, if you want to find out more about Side's fascinating past.

    Side jest ładnym miasteczkiem. Przewodnik ciekawie opowiadał o zabytkach, natomiast sklepy to była strata czasu. Myśleliśmy że spędzimy tam maksymalnie 15-20 minut a trzeba było po godzinie… gdyby nie to to wycieczka była bardzo ciekawa

    Zupełnie niepotrzebne były postoje w miejscach handlowych.Spędzony tam czas można było przeznaczyć na Side. To miasteczko zachwyca pod każdym względem. Udało się zwiedzić stare miasto, zbyt mało czasu by zobaczyć więcej a miejsce urokliwe.

    Nie podobała mi się wizyta w salonie ze skórami strata czasu a zakupy w dikmanie moznaby zamienić na zakupy w samym Side dużo ciekawiej , milej i taniej. Zabrakło mi trochę faktów i historii samych świątyń oraz kościoła . Poczęstunek sokiem w porcie jest super pomysłem .

Den Grønne Kløft på bådtur med frokost og shopping

Hovedattraktionerne på denne heldagsudflugt en smuk og vild kløft, shopping, spisning ved en flod. Du tager ud på en bådtur i kløften og stopper for at svømme ved Oymapinar-søen. Narin, en af vores lokale specialistguider, forklarer: »Oymapinar-søen er et af de største reservoirer i Tyrkiet og dækker et område på ca. 19 kvadratkilometer. Søen får vand fra Manavgat-floden, som løber sydpå fra Taurusbjergene og til sidst løber ud i Middelhavet ved Side". Din udflugt starter med lidt shopping i Dickman Textile Centre. Hvis du er interesseret i mode, er du heldig, for her kan du nyde at kigge på tøj og accessories fra førende mærker med opmærksomme butiksassistenter. Herefter tager vi til en restaurant ved floden, hvor vi spiser en frisklavet måltid lavet af lokale råvarer.Derefter går alle ombord klar til en bådtur ned ad kløftens vandvej. Spektakulært forrevne klippeformationer tårner sig op omkring dig, og floden, i turkise og grønne nuancer, slanger sig væk i det fjerne. Det er et fredfyldt stykke tyrkisk naturskønhed, og farven på vandet er tryllebindende. Vi sejler gennem kløften og beundrer udsigten, før båden sætter farten ned - du kan svømme i disse vilde omgivelser, når båden når Oymapinar-søen.

I sommermånederne involverer den efterfølgende aktivitet et besøg i Altinbesik-hulerne med båd, mens du om vinteren vil stoppe ved en landsby og et museum. Derefter går turen til Ormana med dens moské i træ og usædvanlige ›knaphuse‹. Bidrag fra denne udflugt støtter landsbyboernes indsats for at restaurere disse århundreder gamle boliger. Nyd Ormanas afslappede atmosfære, inden du sætter dig til bords for at nyde en frokost med ›KM0‹-produkter i en familieejet restaurant.Om eftermiddagen tager vi til de nærliggende ruiner af en ældgamle karavansarai – et middelalderligt motel for rejsende handelsfolk.

Halvdagsudflugt til Side med besøg i Apollon-templet

Den antikke by Side har næppe ændret sig, siden de legendariske elskende Antonius og Kleopatra opholdt sig her. Opdag en af det sydlige Tyrkiets bedst bevarede hemmeligheder med denne rundtur. Du får mulighed for at tage billeder ved Apollontemplet, opleve det store romerske teater og udforske det moderne Side. Som Muzaffer, en af vores guider, siger: "Du vil gå rundt i historien. På vej til Apollontempel er der glasgange over de antikke romerske gader".Sides beliggenhed på en komprimeret lille odde er så romantisk, som den kan blive. Vores lokale specialistguide forklarer dig den lange historie om denne engang så travle romerske havn. Du besøger markedspladsen, hvor der blev handlet med slaver, det byzantinske hospital og Vespasian-porten. Derefter tager du ind i enten det ældgamle teater, som er et syn for guder - det havde plads til 20.000 tilskuere - eller det tidligere badehus, som nu er et museum med en lille, men imponerende samling af de genstande, der blev gravet op her.Et af de mest fotograferede steder her er Apollontemplet. Legenden siger, at dette hellige sted ved havet, fra det andet århundrede, var en gave fra Antonius til Kleopatra. Lige ved siden af ligger Athenastemplet, og her bør man finde frisen med medusahoveder. Når du har udforsket ruinerne, er der fri tid i det moderne Side, hvor du kan købe en lækker sprød kebab i en af gadeboderne eller prutte om gode tilbud i de små basarer i sidegaderne. Desuden er dette en rundtur i en lille gruppe, så du bedre kan følge guiden og have en mere intim oplevelse af området.

Full-day winter tour of Alanya with cable car, castle and cave visits

Full-day winter tour of Alanya with cable car, castle and cave visits

A tale of two cities, Alanya is a true mix of the old and the new. It's a bustling resort that's home to a medieval castle and picturesque old town, where you'll have free time to explore. To top it off, there are visits to the Damlatas Caves and a shop where gourds are crafted into decorative lamps. Our expert local guide, Aylin, says “this tour factors in lots of different topics, so everyone will find something to catch their attention regardless of their interests. Plus, Turkish culture's on show almost the entire time, so you'll be like an expert on Turkey by the end of the tour.”With this winter tour, you'll start the day at the Damlatas Caves. Filled with stalagmites and stalactites, the cylindrical chamber within is said to cure asthma – that's not a cue to leave your inhaler at home, though. Next up is Seljuk Castle. Topping a headland jutting into the Mediterranean, it was built in the 13th century on the remnants of Roman and Byzantine castles. You'll glide up in a cable car and to check out its watchtower-studded battlements and peer through the holes from where hot oil was poured onto enemies when they were trying to invade the area.Then, you'll continue on to a craft shop where gourds are carefully carved into lamps, with great results. After lunch, the afternoon is yours. Go shopping in Alanya bazaar, relax in a café, or go for a stroll on the gulet-crammed harbour or promenade before it's time to head back to your accommodation.

Private boat tour to Kekova’s sunken city and Myra ruins

Authentic cuisine, a lost city and Santa – this trip offers an eclectic mix of attractions. You'll glide along the coast to Kekova island and its sunken town, then visit the church of St Nicholas and the ancient city of Myra. Ahmet, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The highlight of the day for me has to be the ruined Lycian city of Myra. The rock-cut friezes carved with theatrical masks and the stacked tombs hewn into the cliffs are a unique sight. It still takes my breath away that parts of this site are thought to be around 2,500 years old.'Proceedings get under way with a scenic drive with a comfort stop at the Sahin Hill in Kumluca. Next, sail to Kekova island, a protected area famed for its underwater ruins. These are the relics of the ancient town of Simena, partially submerged by an earthquake in the 2nd century. There's time for a swim in the warmer months – the water is clear and inviting – it would be difficult to resist a dip in the sea. But if the weather doesn't permit a boat trip, there's a visit to the fascinating Demre museum instead.After a tasty lunch of typical dishes freshly prepared in a local restaurant, it's time to visit the Church of St Nicholas, who's better known today as Santa Claus. Finally, you'll have time to tour the site of the ancient city of Myra to explore the well-preserved amphitheatre and see the intricately carved rock tombs, high in the cliff face.

Pamukkale, Hierapolis and Lake Salda private tour

Heading deep into the Anatolian countryside, you'll also visit ancient Hierapolis, Lake Salda. As with all our tours, we use expert local guides who know the area inside out. Muzaffer, one of the guides, says, ‘I've got a lot of interesting things to tell on this tour that you won't hear anywhere else.'Leaving Antalya early in the morning, you'll arrive at Lake Salda Lake after a few hours' scenic drive. It's been compared to the Maldives for its long white beaches and multi-toned blue waters. You'll have free time to take some photos of this otherworldly spot. And this is just a taster for what's to come in the afternoon.Next, we'll head to Pamukkale for lunch. After your meal, admire of the bright white calcite terraces – they look like icy stalactites dripping from pools of sky-blue water. At the top of these travertines is Hierapolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through the Byzantine Gate and marvel at the ruins as you stroll towards the vast bowl-shaped theatre. It's an epic scene. Dinner in a forest restaurant on the way back is included. What's more, for every sale of this experience, there's a donation to CYDD, a charity that helps in the education of underprivileged children in Turkey.
