  • Rafting en el Cañón Koprulu

    We had a wonderful time rafting. The guide went out of his way to make the experience incredibly fun. We only got a minor point because they forgot to pick us up; fortunately, they corrected it, and we were able to arrive on time. The return trip was somewhat bumpy; the driver was driving very fast and recklessly.

    If you've never dived, it's great. If you're a diver, don't even bother. The quality/price ratio is very good.

    We had a great time. Very fun, super friendly and funny instructors. They picked us up from the hotel at 9:40 and took us to the activity site which is in the mountains. A great place with the river, bathrooms, zip line. They explained the security measures and took us to the departure point. The raft goes in groups of 10-11 and sails. There are quite a few rapids and in the calm areas you can swim. Halfway through the buggy tour and then you finish, eat and zip line. A marvel!

Side tours & activities | Discover the best of Turkey's coast

Sun, sand, and ancient wonders await you on the beautiful southern coast of Turkey. This stunning seaside town combines golden beaches and turquoise waters with millennia-old ruins, creating a perfect balance between relaxation and exploration. Whether you’re a history lover, a beach enthusiast, or just looking to unwind by the Mediterranean, Side has something for everyone.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded by Greek settlers in the 7th century BC, Side became a thriving port in ancient times. The town later fell under Roman control, which brought majestic monuments like the grand theater and the impressive Temple of Apollo—both still stand proudly today, inviting visitors on a fascinating journey through time.

When to Go

The sun shines brightly for most of the year, but the best time to visit is from April to October. Warm spring and autumn months are ideal for sightseeing, while summer offers perfect weather for swimming and sunbathing at the beach.
