Things to do

Manavgat Waterfall
A wide, low fall on the Manavgat river a few kilometres inland, more a shelf than a drop, with a tea garden along the bank. It runs hardest in spring.
-
Side Ancient Theatre
A Roman theatre seating around fifteen thousand, built up on vaults rather than cut into a hill because Side had no hill, and later walled off as an open-air church. It is the largest in Pamphylia.
-
Side Museum
The Roman bath house of the fifth century, converted to hold the sculpture, sarcophagi and inscriptions excavated from the city around it. It sits opposite the theatre and takes an hour.
-
Temple of Apollo
Five re-erected marble columns at the tip of the peninsula, from a temple of the late second century, standing directly over the water. It is unfenced and it is at its best in the last hour of light.
