Colonnaded Street of Ancient Side

Highlight • Historical Site

In ancient Side there were two colonnaded streets that led from the city gate to the sea. One leads from the main gate in a southerly direction to the sea, the other, the main axis, leads west and then with a few changes of direction to the large square between the temples by the sea. Cars still drive along part of this street as far as behind the theater. Both streets were lined with colonnades on the sides and paved with marble.

after the meal you should rest or take 1,000 steps, I chose the latter and went to Side via the Promonadenweg 😊

PS: it was worth it

Only dinner wasn't possible 🙄 so I put on my running shoes and walked across the beach and promenade into the ancient town 😊

Nice beach walk from our hotel to Side. We were really amazed that many houses in the center of Side are no longer standing and that excavations are now taking place on the site. The antique finds that were uncovered are covered with glass plates, so that in many places in Side you can walk over glass and find ancient …

One day during my holiday in Turkey I had to take a look at how far the excavations in the old town of Side had progressed. It's very impressive what there is to see and what comes to light again.
I can only recommend.
