A Gelataria in Side Old Town
After spending the morning touring the ancient Greek and Roman ruins (including the nearby Temple of Apollo), tourists gather at a gelataria in the old town to find respite from the scorching heat. Get ready for a show! Turkish ice cream vendors are famous for their playful service, using long-handled paddles for tricks and fun interactions, providing an entertaining experience for kids and their families.
Situated on the southern Mediterranean coast of Türkiye 78km east of Antayla, the town was founded by the Greeks in the 7th century BC. Visitors today can trace the steps of Alexander the Great, whose armies occupied Side in 333 BC. Learn more about the history of Side.
