Things to do in July
- On a dry day, the columns of the Temple of Apollo offer a short walk through ancient Side beside the sea.
- A walk can continue along the old streets towards the harbour, where two-storey houses stand near ancient remains. It need not become a full day of sightseeing.
- The indoor galleries of Side Museum, housed in Roman baths, are an option for rainy weather. Displays include statues, coins and finds from the ancient city. Part of the collection is outdoors.
