Hotel taxi and airport transfers in Side

Compare the accommodation and activities described below with the holiday you want. Keep the published locality beside the hotel name: a shared destination label is not a shared pickup point.

These links prefill names, not confirmed locations, prices or reservations. Select the exact points in the booking form. Local trips, waiting and admission tickets are separate from the airport journey. Hotel mentions do not imply a partnership.

Read Side’s peninsula through its ancient streets

Ancient Side occupies a peninsula. Its main street runs from the northeastern gate, bends beside the theatre and continues towards the temples. Following that line helps you picture how the city fitted together, rather than treating each ruin as an isolated sight.

Apollo and Athena’s temples stand together by the ancient harbour, at the end of the colonnaded street. Their waterfront setting makes a useful focus for a coastal walk. For a Side outing transfer, allow time to explore between landmarks after the drive.

Side Museum: look at the building as well as the objects

Side Museum occupies a Roman bathhouse opposite the ancient agora. Its collection includes sculptures, carved sarcophagi, inscriptions and coins, largely from excavations in Side. The building and the objects give you two ways to examine the same city at different scales.

Among the displays are Roman sculptures based on Greek originals, alongside fragments such as column capitals. Look for details you might overlook among outdoor ruins. Pairing the museum with your old-town walk can give a Side sightseeing transfer a more focused purpose.

Manavgat: a river-wide cascade inland from Side

Manavgat Waterfall lies north of the town, where the river drops over a low ledge across its breadth. The scene is about the spread of moving water rather than a towering cliff. It offers a different landscape from Side’s coastal ruins.

Viewing terraces frame the waterfall visit; farther along its course, the river reaches the sea in the Sorgun area. These are different outings. Choose the waterfall or the river mouth as your focus when planning a local transfer from your hotel.

Places to visit from Side: local transport

Choose a museum visit, time among the ruins, a photo stop or a meal as the purpose of your outing. Set the return around that choice; list any additional stops before requesting transport.

Planning airport and local journeys in Side

If one person wants to walk and another needs a vehicle, arrange separate return plans before the group splits. Save a map point everyone can recognise and agree where the passengers taking the car will gather.

For a hotel change, give both full property names and all the luggage. If you need to collect keys elsewhere, include that stop in the request before agreeing the vehicle and journey total.

For an airport departure, use the flight date and time on your ticket. An evening outing and a flight transfer need different schedules; plan the airport journey separately and check passenger and baggage details again.

Side Ancient Ruins & Temple of Apollo Walking Tour
Half Day (3h)Side

Side Ancient Ruins & Temple of Apollo Walking Tour

Stroll through ancient Side and discover the iconic Temple of Apollo framed dramatically by the Mediterranean Sea at sunset, creating an unforgettable photographic moment. Explore the remarkably well-preserved ancient theater, agora marketplace, defensive city walls, and picturesque harbor promenade revealing centuries of Roman heritage. The whole route — theatre, agora, colonnaded street, temple — covers barely a kilometre on flat ground, which makes it one of the few ancient sites here that works with a pushchair or tired knees. Photographers should aim for the last hour of light, when the columns stand against the sea.

Side & Manavgat Waterfall Day Tour
Full Day (8h)Side

Side & Manavgat Waterfall Day Tour

Explore the ancient ruins of Side including the Apollo Temple and Roman amphitheater, then visit the thundering Manavgat Waterfall. Free time for shopping at the famous Side bazaar. Transfers from hotels in Side, Belek, Kundu and central Antalya are part of the day, so you can leave the driving to us. Comfortable shoes help on the ancient site's uneven paving, and a light rain jacket is handy near the falls, where spray carries on windy days. Mornings are cooler among the ruins, which leaves the bazaar for the afternoon when the covered lanes offer shade.

Antalya City Tour: Kaleiçi, Waterfalls & Marina

Explore the charming Kaleiçi old town, visit Düden and Kurşunlu waterfalls, see Hadrian's Gate, the Clock Tower, and enjoy panoramic views from the old harbor marina. Professional English-speaking guide. Your driver collects you from the hotel, so there is no parking to worry about in the narrow lanes of the old town. Expect a fair amount of walking on uneven stone, a little spray at the falls and several natural photo stops, which makes it a good first day for anyone new to the city. Mornings are cooler and the harbour quieter; late afternoon gives warmer light over the cliffs.

Perge, Aspendos & Side — Ancient Cities Tour

Visit three of Turkey's most impressive ancient sites in one day. Walk through Perge's colonnaded streets, see Aspendos Theatre (one of the best-preserved Roman theaters in the world), and explore Side's Temple of Apollo. Hotel pick-up and return in an air-conditioned vehicle are included, so the long stretches between the three sites stay comfortable. Set aside plenty of walking time on uneven marble and stone, and bring a hat, sunscreen and water — shade is scarce around midday. Spring and autumn suit this route best, and an early start keeps you ahead of the coach groups.
