Ancient Side dazes visitors
One of the important ancient cities and tourism centers in Turkey, Side’s history dates back 2,700 years. Even though archaeological excavations have been ongoing in the city since 1940s, there are still various historical artifacts lying underground. (Photos: Alamy)
Side, which did not have a masterplan because it was the first degree ancient site, was converted to the 3rd degree urban site in 2013 in order to meet the needs of the residents and prevent illegal construction, and a master plan was prepared for its conservation.
