Manavgat Waterfall, which is among the important natural beauties not only of Side but also of Turkey, is flooded with visitors especially in hot seasons. There are also special sections that can be used as a recreation area around the waterfall, which is among the must-see places in Side with its impressive atmosphere and refreshing effect. Therefore, the facility, which allows you to have picnics, camping and nature walks during your Side holiday, also provides services such as restaurants and cafes for your food and beverage needs.
The Green Canyon tour from Side, which has a very impressive appearance with the lake that accumulates around it, is also used for touristic activities. The dam, which is among the places to visit in Side with its lake, which was accepted as the Oymapınar Culture and Tourism Conservation and Development Zone in 2004, also organizes many sports activities every year. There are also many areas where picnic and camping activities can be done around the dam, on which activities such as boat tours are organized.
The resort of Side, formerly a quiet village, is now a touristy town, on which it makes a lasting impression. The main advantage of Side is the snow-white sandy beaches and the purest sea, as well as the surrounding nature, characteristic of the coast of Turkey. In addition, it is the center of historical architectural monuments of the ancient period. The beautiful climate and sea air, the panoramas of the mountains and the Green Canyon, saturated with the aroma of numerous conifers and eucalyptus trees give the resort its uniqueness.
Symbol of Side
The ancient Greek name for the city means "granate." This fruit in ancient times was a symbol of the city. Today, this tree can be seen in many alleys and parks of the city. The well-maintained areas of the hotels are teeming with lush vegetation. The beach line is quite wide, the entrance to the sea is gentle, gradual, which is very good for holidaymakers with children. Along the beaches there is a boulevard with a variety of representatives of flora: palm trees, pomegranate trees, lawns and flower beds, where it is pleasant to walk in the evenings.
