This September, I went a little to Turkey, more precisely, to the city of Side, Antalya. The oldest amphitheater, the temple of Apollo, waterfalls, sandy beaches... Get to know the fusion of ancient and modern Turkey in this city Side is located in southern Turkey, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, 75 km from Antalya. City of pomegranates. It was once an important trading city and port that traded with the rest of the Mediterranean. The bizarre fact is that this was the center of the slave trade from Africa, but also the center of piracy in the Eastern Mediterranean. The historic city of Side itself is located on a small and flat peninsula that is 300 meters wide and 800 meters long and is "packed" with archaeological wonders and surrounded on both sides by the deep and blue sea. Temple of Apollo One of the many places settled by the Romans is the coast of Side. Of this temple, only 5 pillars remain, which is amazing from an archaeological point of view, bearing in mind that it is located on the very coast of the city. The size of the temple is clear from the ruined pillars, and it was one of the largest built at that time.
