Really impressive pillars set on the sea front but make sure you don't miss the rest of the Roman ruins in Side that are set a bit further back from the shore.

was a little disapointed at the temple. Needs restoration as most of the original stonework is just dumped in rows

Loved the architecture and the roman history of the place ... and the view over the sea was amazing.

There's not a great deal to it - and not something I'd spend a day on. However, there are plenty of ruins to see, and the amphitheatre - whilst not the greatest in Turkey, is still worth a look around.

Not much to see really but it looks like it's a work in progress as they seem to be trying to re-build it.
