It is very popular with tourists. The history of Side can be traced back to the 10th century BC. It was established as a town by Greek immigrants. Later, it was occupied by Alexander and the Romans. In the 1st century AD, it ushered in another prosperous period through its olive oil trade. Side, with its natural port, became the most important commercial center in the region. Currently, in the ruins of Side, you can see Greek theaters, temples, etc. Passing through the ancient monuments, you will see a town square lined with restaurants. Walking past the hotel and souvenir shops, you will arrive at the busy Side Port. Large and small sightseeing boats shuttle in the open sea.

    The Temple of Apollo and Athena is located in the ancient city of Side in Antalya, Turkey. It was built in the ancient Roman era in the second century AD. The temple is close to the sea and most of the buildings have collapsed, leaving only scattered broken column fragments. There are several columns standing on the seashore. The white Roman columns, set against the blue ocean in the background, resemble Greek seaside temples.
