It was worth the trip to Side, seeing this ancient Ruins of the Apollo Temple. Entrance is free and there are Restaurants and Cafe's nearby for refreshment. It's a lovely view of the Sea from the Ruins.
Either day or night it's definetely worth to see.You can have wonderfull pictures and really breath the ancient atmospfiere.
Short walk in Side town where you can find Sunday Bazar with jewellery, clothes,souvenirs and lovely Temple of Apollo ruins close to the beach .. Nice walk in the sunshine :)
this is the symbol of Side overlooking the sea which can be sometimes rough. you can feel and smell the glorious past
A truly beautiful landmark in Southeastern Turkey overlooking the sea. Visit in the evening as the sunsets and you'r guaranteed the most beautiful and arguably romantic holiday snaps.
We have visited this site on at least 3 occasions. Each time we go, there is a better photo opportunity.One can just imagine how magnificent it must have been when it was built.Very impressive.
To truly appreciate the beauty of the Temple of Apollo I suggest you visit at sunset as it is at it's most spectacular then with the sun setting behind it and the sound of the waves in your ears,There are several small bars where you can enjoy tea,(or reiki) as you soak up the view and atmosphere.....
We approached from the Marina, very easy to find, level walking.Only recently an entrance fee has been introduced but on our visit it was a cold wet February Monday and the ticket kiosk was closed. You can take good photographs from outside the Museum boundary but we wanted to explore and entered free of chargeI have added a few photographs of the Temple itself and other ruins close byQuite a few relics appear in nearby restaurants and bars, there is little security to preserve the site. Parts have been rebuilt to represent how it would've looked and there are several information boardsWill revisit in the Summer
I'm really into history and this place is beautiful. I could almost picture the life as it was way back then and it gave me goose bumps. I could do with some tidying up though but then, if stupid people didn't drop litter, this wouldn't be necessary. You can walk through the "rooms" and it's awesome.
Very pretty ruins and lovely seeing the sea and snow capped mountains in the background. There are lots of boards around which explains what you are looking at.
