Side Hotels

Just as you would expect from a popular tourist destination, there are a wide range of hotels in Side. This cosy city offers hotels of different shapes, sizes and price ranges. Here you will find cheap hotels, hostels, luxury resorts and much more.

The resort of Side

Side is located between Antalya and Alanya. Since the city was initially a fishing village, there is still a sense of the ‘small scale’ left. The main reason tourists travel to Side is the two beautiful beaches located on either side of the city centre. The west coast is long and has a wide range of water activities to choose from. Therefore, it is popular with families with children. Because the eastern shore’s water is not as shallow, it’s a better fit for older children and adults, and there are activities like water skiing and jet skiing here. The centre of the Side is a beautiful little urban area filled with small cobblestone streets.

What to do in Side

If you’re looking to get active why not spend the day white water rafting. In Side itself you can visit the Hamam: a Turkish bath. The combination of heat, steam and massage is ideal for those who want to feel like a whole new person.

If it’s shopping that attracts you then you should stay in the old town where you can buy spices, Turkish rugs, gold and bargain leather products. If the supply is not enough then you can go to nearby Antalya with its big bazaar or Terracity, which is a large shopping mall with more than 150 stores.

Historical Page

Side's old buildings are great examples of fine Ottoman architecture, and these house many small restaurants and shops. There are also many good restaurants in the city serving lunch, if you want a break from the beach in the middle of the day. Those interested in history have come to the right place. The Dionysos Temple has beautiful fountains, and nearby there is the amphitheatre where up to 20,000 people gathered to watch gladiators fight it out. There is also a museum where you can peruse beautiful ancient Roman statues.
