#sidetrip

A place full of history, full of story and legends, streets that make you feel that you are living in ancient ages. The ancient city is also full of beautiful cafes and boutique restaurants, an ideal place to relax and educate yourself on the history of the area. It is also extremely accessible from most hotels along the beach. It took us a 30 minute walk along the promenade. #turkey #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #sidetrip #falltrip

Samila Beach in Songkla city It is a beautiful beach with comfortable shade where you can do picnic and dine in with friends, family or love one☺️☺️ but be careful of your things because a lot of stray monkey where always ready to grab something un attended. As you roam around you will notice the golden mermaid, it was created according to an ancient Thai novel and also considered to be the symbol of Songkla city☺️🦾 #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #beachlife #naturalwonders #sidetrip #amazingthailand

If you are in Batad and you have one half day to spare, hiking to Tappiyah Falls is the first thing to consider. Tappiyah Falls is part of a river passing Batad. This river breaks in 70-metre elevation creating powerful waterfall pouring into a sizeable pool. The white stream and mists contrast in colour with the thick vegetation backdrop. Also the wind from the falls gently shakes the ferns on the cliff, making it very enjoyable to watch. If the current is not strong, you can leisurely swim in the pool. Admission is free. What you need is physical fitness due to 2km distance with a lot of ups and downs. It took me 1 hour to go down to the falls and 45 minutes back to Batad. Minimum 1 litre of water is recommended. There are at least 3 drink stalls selling the trail, but all were closed during my visit. Morning is better as it tends to rain in the afternoon. #tappiyafalls #tappiyahfalls #batad #sidetrip #waterfallshiking

📍Old Town Of Side The heart of Side is its charming old town, where you can wander through narrow streets lined with historic buildings, browse boutique shops, and sample delicious local cuisine. With its 3,500 years of history, Side's old town will amaze you with ancient ruins from Roman and Byzantine times. These include: Commercial Agora: The cultural and economic center of the city and a popular meeting place during the Roman period. It's located next to the ancient theater and houses a lot of ruins, such as the temple of Tyche, and a well preserved market street. State Agora: Southeast of the Commercial Agora are the remains of the second-century State Agora, that was reserved for the elite circles in the city. Monumental Fountain (Nymphaeum): Near the outer city walls, you can find part of the Roman aqueducts dating from the 2nd century AD. Roman Baths: The Roman Baths opposite the Commercial Agora probably date back to the 5th century. Since 1962, it has served as the Side Museum. City Walls: Construction of the once six-kilometer-long city wall began in the late first century. It served to protect the city and some of it can still be visited today. City Gate: Located near the Nymphaeum, the large main gate was first built as a free-standing structure and only later integrated into the city wall. Colonnaded Road: A marble-paved street framed by columns that once led from the city gate to the old city center. Today, remains of the columns with original mosaics can still be seen and are a very popular photo motif. South Basilica: This basilica was built right next to the two main Roman temples in the city, which were later incorporated into the atrium of the Byzantine church. Monumental Gate: It was built on the Commercial Agora. Today, only the foundation walls are preserved. Vespasian Monument & Gate: A fountain was erected next to the inner city gate in honor of the Roman Emperor, Vespasian. Temple of Dionysus: Remains of the early Roman temple dedicated to the god of wine near the ancient theater. Temple of Men: Along Barbaros Caddesi, you will find remains of a temple that was dedicated to Men, an Anatolian deity of the Moon. In conclusion, Side Old Town is surely a hidden gem lying in wait for the tourists to explore, so keep it on your places to visit when you happen to go to Türkiye in future! #turkiye #antalya #side #Sidenighttour #sidetrip #byzantine #byzantineemperor #byzantineheritage #romanempire #roman #romancity #Romanheritage #oldtown #romanbath #tample #Appllo #Citygate #historytour #history
