The sea is very warm, 29-30 degrees, perfect calm. The entrance to the sea is gentle, there is no great depth. At the bottom there are large flat stones, but there are quite a few of them. Because the water is clear - they can be seen and can be bypassed. The embankment is beautiful, long and well-groomed. To the left - the port and restaurants, to the right - cafes, if you turn right behind the Side Beach Club - there are 2 supermarkets up the street.
LOCATION:
The hotel is located on the territory of the museum complex - most of the ruins of the ancient city are about 200 m. Some sights, for example, the Temple of Apollo - about 750 m. You can get to the temple along the embankment if you go towards the port.
At its very end are the ruins of an ancient temple.
EXCURSIONS AND LUNCHES:

When you exit the restaurant overlooking the ruins of the ancient city, turn left and go straight until you reach the checkpoint to the museum complex from the city. Near it is a small cafe - Antik Garden Pastane. The hostess of the cafe, Irina, is Russian-speaking and sympathetic. From her you can buy interesting excursions at an affordable price and have an inexpensive and tasty lunch ..
We booked an excursion to the Green Canyon - $50 + $4 (entrance to the waterfall) for two. We visited: the Manavgat River and a waterfall, a Turkish village, the ancient city of Seleucia in the mountains, a boat trip along the Green Canyon with swimming, swimming in the Hidden Paradise waterfall and a hearty lunch in the mountains, visiting the largest mosque in Manavgat.
SHOPPING CENTERS:
The largest shopping center Nova Mall is located in the city of Manavgat - 3 km from the city of Side. It can be reached by minibus Side - Otogar Nova Mall. The fare is 4 lira per person.
Minibuses to the shopping center depart not far from the checkpoint, on the left, if you stand with your back to the amphitheater, a sightseeing train also leaves from there.
