All about Side
When to Visit
The best time to visit Side is between April and October. Spring (April to June) offers mild weather, blooming landscapes, and fewer crowds, ideal for sightseeing. Summer (July to September) brings sunny days perfect for enjoying Side's beaches and water activities. If you prefer cooler weather, early autumn (September to October) provides warm seas and less intense heat. Avoid winter months if you’re looking for a beach vacation, but note that the off-season is quieter and allows for more affordable accommodation.
Getting Around
Side’s compact layout makes it easy to explore on foot, especially the old town with its narrow streets and historical landmarks. For longer distances, the local dolmuş (minibuses) provide affordable and frequent transportation to nearby attractions like Manavgat or Aspendos. Taxis and car rentals are widely available, offering flexibility to explore the surrounding region. For an eco-friendly option, consider renting a bike to enjoy the scenic coastal paths.
Traveler Tips
Stay hydrated and pack sunscreen, especially during the summer months. Early morning or late afternoon is the best time to visit the ruins to avoid the midday heat and crowds. Many shops and markets accept euros, but having Turkish lira on hand can be useful. Bargaining is common in markets—don’t hesitate to negotiate. Finally, try local delicacies like gözleme (savory pancakes) and fresh seafood at traditional eateries for an authentic taste of Side.
