The best beaches in Side for swimming

It is convenient to navigate along the green promontory. The most visited places are concentrated to the west of it. To the east are those who want to sit on a semi-desert area. The municipal area is visited free of charge. But they still require money for a chaise longue and an umbrella. The rest of the infrastructure is good as well. A lot of water activities are provided, even catamarans, bananas, yachts, windsurfing. You can also go parasailing here. Some areas are shallow. Swimming on them is not dangerous, even if you have no swimming skills at all. Naturally, the most developed are the coastal areas belonging to hotels.

Eastern beach strip also quite shallow, but deep places start closer to the coast. It is lined with bright yellow sand formed by large particles. It is convenient to enter the water. However, you need to look carefully so as not to get into places with small sharp pebbles. There are no shops on the “eastern” segment of the coast, and you cannot find nightclubs. Near the cape, the coast is replete with rocky areas. But even there you can find small tourist corners with sun loungers. Those staying in the east will have to walk to the beach. Buses (both city and free from hotels) go from the western section and the middle of the resort.

Entertainment and excursions in Side for children

We advise in the first days of rest to make a trip to Antalya Oceanarium... Its tunnel is 131 meters long. Fans of extreme sports (with older children and teenagers) will like rafting on the Kapruchay river. The alloy has been thoroughly tested, and the safety for schoolchildren has been confirmed. The equipment meets all the requirements. Connoisseurs of the mysterious and seeking to touch nature should visit Damlatas cave... Stalactites and stalagmites (three times older than the Egyptian pyramids) look unforgettable. Staying in a cave will also help asthma sufferers. Still worth a visit waterfall Manavgat (for beauty applied on old Turkish money).
