Now we go to have breakfast and travel to Alanya. Alanya is situated east of Antalya. In Alanya the fantastic Hill, has an elevation of 300 m. It is very impressive and is situated on a peninsula that looks like the south wing of the mountains, who came very close to the sea. In the west and east of the section where this steep peninsula, the shore of a bay connects with very fine sand is a long and wide beach under the impression that we are endless. Today, Alanya is on the planet, placed between the Toros Mountains to the rear at the northern foot of Castle Mountain and the peninsula on the front. The city has two different beaches, each with a beautiful natural and one of them is as still as a lake in the east, and the other faces on the open sea in West. We are at the marina and modern port city in the bay where the old port city , K?z?lkule built by the Seljuks in middle age and the shipyard. This marina is capable of all the requirements of small boats and yachts. From here to the shores of the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea daily or long term trips are organized. In Alanya there is a beautiful museum, where the ethnographic and archaeological monuments of the region issued. We require to go 4 km along the road of separation from Antalya-Alanya highway at the 68th km towards south to reach the ancient city of Side.
The ancient Side was founded on a peninsula that extends into plain to the Mediterranean. Today's Selimiye and here the ancient city into one another. The cafes, restaurants, shops, bars and houses of the village, some of which have been converted to accommodation sites such as pensions will all be with ruins. You need to be walking through the streets of the city for quite a long time be able to find some important buildings of the old city. As if they want these monuments from the eyes to hide too many of the monuments from the ancient times by heaping sand are continually flooded and the plants been peculiar to the Mediterranean. Within these places that are quickly cleaned by the men again with this merciless and stubborn natural invaders filled. However, sand filling of the old port city with a large part of the coast of the peninsula at the same time let this place a beautiful beach to be with inimitable beauty. In side there are 2 columns roads that start from the main gate, a progressive South and the other in south-west, linking the city center. The 250 m long and 20 m wide road to the south stretches today with asphalt roads have covered. They have a perfect underground drainage systems. Apollo Temple is located near the old port. The temple has 6 Corinthian style columns on its front and back sitting on a 16x30m. Style oblate and 11 columns in the same style on every page. Each column is 8.90 m. high. The architrave (horizontal stone blocks which bear on the columns that connect the columns together and which are placed the ranks of Fries, made eaves, etc., and the roof itself.) To the pillars is decorated with plant designs and Medusa heads. This temple is Peripteros camp style and it is also a monument to one of second Century AD This large monumental fountain of Side is located opposite the main gate and outside the citadel. With its current status, because the marble coating, it has lost its original splendor, embossed designs and statues away to it, and was destroyed on the top floor of this three-story building. It's original length was 35 m and a height was 15 m. The city will build during the reign of Antonius Oius in about 150 BC, during the same period as the aqueducts of the city. The water of this was out of the water line by a large water pipe brought. It was three-story high front of the wings, the forward on the sides and a large pool with three sections and longer surrounded by it. The front of the fountain was decorated with three large niches overlapped with three gullies. The arched niches were separated by Corinthian style columns. Within the niches there were statues. Between the layers carried by the columns and also on the upper sections were decorated entablature.
Today, many statues and reliefs belonging Side antiques are kept in Side Museum. Unfortunately, our holidays are over and would have returned but the gorgeous Turkish Riviera tourist with its small towns, wonderful restaurants, friendly people, black tea, shisha and clean beaches, I would never forget.
