✨ Don’t Leave Side Without Experiencing These!
This ancient coastal gem offers more than just ruins — it gifts you unforgettable moments. Here are 3 experiences that define the true spirit of Side:
🛥 A Fairytale on Water: Sailing the Turquoise Coast
Set sail with the silhouette of the Temple of Apollo in the distance and feel the breeze of centuries past. The waters here are so clear, you’ll think you’re floating on glass. If luck is on your side, dolphins might join you for a magical ride. And when the sun begins to set? It’s pure gold pouring into the sea.
🍲 A Fiery Delight: Arabaşı Soup
Traditionally a winter dish, but so loved it’s chased down even in summer — Arabaşı is no ordinary soup. It’s eaten with a special dough and never with a spoon — doing so is considered a culinary “sin”! Spicy, rich, and full of flavor, it’s a bold taste of Anatolian heritage that lingers long after the last bite.
🏛 A Walk Through Time: Side Museum
Housed inside an ancient Roman bath, this museum feels like stepping into a secret world. Statues, sarcophagi, and inscriptions recovered from the ancient theatre and city center whisper stories of gods and empires. Even its garden is an open-air gallery, where every stone holds a memory.
Side isn’t just a place to visit — it’s a place to feel.
Let its stories echo through you. ✨
