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.

What to remember
  • There may be an initial, unaccompanied pick-up from your hotel to a meeting point from which the tour proper departs
  • If you'd prefer to visit Side without shopping, we also offer a Side Ancient City Highlights Tour with Temple of Apollo, as part of our TUI Collection
  • When pick up is from the Side area, the tour lasts around 4-5 hours but if traveling from another resort, the additional travel time should be added:
    Alanya: 60-90 minutes each way
    Belek: 45-60 minutes each way
    Antalya: 60-90 minutes each way
    These times may increase if the route is particularly busy with traffic
  • Guests travelling from the Alanya area will also visit a jewellery centre
  • We suggest you bring comfortable shoes
  • Shopping in Turkey is lively and interactive, with friendly staff often inviting guests to browse and negotiate prices. This is a long-standing local tradition and part of the cultural experience. While shopping opportunities are included in this tour, purchases are entirely optional and guests should never feel obliged to buy. The tour includes shopping stops at the textiles centre and a jewellery or leather centre

    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 .
