Description

The Turkish Riviera is the Mediterranean (Southern) coastline of Turkey around Antalya. The main resorts on the Riviera from West to East are: Kemer, Belek, Side and Alanya. Unlike the Aegean (Western) coast, the Riviera is also a Winter destination receiving both package and independent tourism and direct flights from the UK and across Northern Europe every day of the year. Here, the long summers are followed by short and mild winters and for six to eight months a year neither heating nor cooling is required. Sunbathers occupy the beaches well in to December while Christmas and New Year are surprisingly busy. After two months of mixed weather, March is often beautiful while the Summer season is back in full swing by 1st April.

Side (pronounced "See-day") has been a holiday resort since ancient times and was once the secret rendezvous of Antony and Cleopatra. Central Side is built in, around and sometimes on top of the ancient city on a peninsular flanked by miles of sandy beaches. Bars, shops and restaurants are uniquely set amidst colonnaded streets and ancient ruins. The beautifully restored Agora Baths are now home to the Side museum. Nearby, the second century amphitheatre hosts the annual music festival and offers fine views towards the lively harbour and the Temple of Apollo perched on the waters edge.

Today there are around 150,000 hotel beds in the Side area (source TURSAB) with all the amenities and facilities commensurate with such numbers. However, as the 'jewel' of Turkey, development has been strictly controlled and there is no high-rise or high density building anywhere in the Side area. (The maximum height of any residential building is just four floors including the basement and roof space, while a maximum of just 20% of any plot may be built on). Meticulous excavation and restoration work continues to enhance the historical centre of Side year on year, while surrounding areas benefit from tree-lined avenues, countless public parks and gardens, sports and social amenities, riverside walkways, a new golf course and planned marina. There is also a winter ski resort just 80 mins drive away, making Side one of the few places in the World where one can ski, swim, sail and play golf in one day!
