Situated on a peninsula and flanked by two stretches of golden beach, the pretty resort town of Side, Antalya is a jumble of old and new, with an extensive range of tourist accommodation, late-night bars, shops, and restaurants mixed in among the ruins of the ancient city.
In the centre of town is the magnificent 2nd-century theatre with beautiful views towards the sea, and the remains of the Roman Baths an impressive collection of artefacts. Busy streets that lead down to the sea are lined with souvenir shops selling typical Turkish handicrafts like jewellery, carpets, and leather goods.
