What awaits you
Monuments of the ancient city A walk along the old streets of Side is not just an opportunity to inspect the Greco-Roman ruins: I will help you feel the breath of time, see the trace of history in its stones. According to legend, it was here that Mark Antony and Cleopatra met - we will remember this pair of rulers, and also talk about the pirates who seized the city and turned it into a sea shipyard and the center of the slave trade. You will find yourself in the market square of Agora, in the ancient theater, present how the tragedies were staged in those days, and admire the harmony of the columns of the Temple of Apollo
Waterfall with banknotes Next, we will go to the Manavgat waterfall, the widest in the region. It was even featured on the Turkish five lira banknote! We will rest in the shade and coolness and talk about the Manavgat River - the Turkish Nile, thanks to which crops ripen throughout the province, and residents are always supplied with drinking water
Patterns of the Manavgat mosque The final point of our route is the unusual modern Quliye mosque, the largest on the coast. Its bright ornaments amaze with grace: while you are considering the decoration of the mosque, I will talk about the architecture of religious buildings in Turkey and the features of worship.
