Side holidays:
Side was, at one time, an ancient harbor whose name means “Pomegranate” in the Anatolian language. Situated on the southern coast of Turkey on the Pamphylian coastline, not far from the mouth of the Eurymedon River, Side was settled sometime in the 7th Century BC by the Greeks. With the city changing hands several times due to the presence of the harbor there is a mixture of architectures most still preserved and open for tours. At one time, Alexander the Great occupied the area for the harbor and its importance to the rest of the area. Due to the rich history of the city, it is overflowing with ruins, drawing visitors into a time of gladiators and architecture built by the ancient hands of a people from centuries ago. If you have a love of history, particularly as it pertains to the expansion of the Western world, then cheap holidays in Side are just for you.

Located on the coast of the Mediterranean, roughly 15km east of Antalya, Side (pronounced see-deh) is a flourishing resort town now, catering to the tourist trade. With a magnificent beach, numerous restaurants, cafes and shops, though the town is diminutive, it manages holiday travelers in a big way.

Given the size of the town, the accommodations there are precious but available in the form of hotels, apartments, self-catering locations and inns. Lodging is offered in an array of rates including half-board and all-inclusive.

Dining in Side will present no challenges, as they are famous throughout Turkey for their seaside restaurants and cafes. Located on the beach affords visitors the ability to spend the day soaking up the magnificent rays of the Turkish sun and then duck into one of the dining facilities there before heading back to their hotel for drinks, dancing and entertainment, if they so desire. If you prefer to stay near the beach, there are some fantastic nightclubs and discos, though they never get out of control as they can in other parts of Turkey; Side is a fantastic location for bringing the family.

White, balmy beaches beckon, resplendent restaurants ready to serve their sumptuous fare, delightful souvenir shops and boutiques, awe-inspiring ruins to educate and astonish, amazing days and tranquil evenings, all in Side. With so much to offer, why would you wish to go anywhere else? Cheap holidays in Side, whether it’s for the family, just you and your significant other or a group of friends, is an enticing destination any time of the year.
