Home description
Set in the ancient town of Side, these apartments offer a fantastic base for your holiday on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Located in a quiet friendly neighbourhood close to the old town and the beach, Side Garden Residence has a 25m pool, a sauna, a gym, a pool bar, full air-conditioning, wireless internet, free beach transport and 24-hour security.
Side (pronounced See-day) lies 60 Km (or 50 minutes drive) from Antalya airport and is one of the jewels of Turkey’s Turquoise coast. Jutting out from an unspoilt coastline of long, sandy beaches, this ancient Roman town, with its magnificent temples, amphitheatres and harbour make it is one of the major archeological attractions in this remarkable country.
Vibrant shops, romantic restaurants and atmospheric bars give Side a wonderfully exotic atmosphere. As you walk among the temples, stroll along the beaches and visit clubs built into the ruins of Roman buildings, you will be filled with a sense of being in a very special place. And all the time the people of Side, with their good-natured friendliness, will make you feel completely welcome.
Top this off with year-round sunshine, brilliant night-life, top-class cuisine and and activites to satisfy every taste, and we think you will agree that Side has everything that makes for a great holiday. (Please note that we have more than one apartment so availability is rarely a problem).

The Mediterranean Coast region
Side is a town of major historical interest, having been founded in about 700 B.C and, in that time, home to Greeks, Romans and other civilisations. It is even reputed to have been a meeting place of Antony and Cleopatra!
Once you have explored the temples, amphitheatres and aquaducts of Side itself, you can explore further afield to places such as Apsendos with its excellently preserved amphitheatre and, further afield again, to places of world class geological and historic importance such as Cappadocia and Pamukkale. This part of Turkey is full of places to explore. We can arrange trips for you on request through our experienced English-speaking local agents.
Having 300 days of sunshine a year explains why this area is the primary location for golf in Turkey. The magnificent courses of Belek are only 30 km away. We can arrange green fees and trips on request.
This area is lucky to have plentiful supplies of water from the nearby Taurus mountains which offer skiing in the winter and mountain sports such as white-water rafting at other times. Again, we would be delighted to arrange these for you during your stay.
Side area
Side is flanked by two superb beaches, the closest one is protected by the Turkish government due to its archeological and historic importance. It can be walked to in 15 minutes (across rolling sand-dunes) or you can use the free bus service. The other beach, on the other side of Side is home to the 5-star hotels and provides all the facilities you would expect. A free bus service runs there from the apartments every day.
There are many bars, restaurants and shops in the locality and in old Side itself. A big part of the fun is trying them out and finding your own favourites.
The numerous local mini-markets will supply you with pretty much all you will need for self-catering. The larger supermarket - the Turkish equivalent of Tescos - is a short drive away (about 2 Km). For more extensive shopping, the bustling town of Manavgat, is about 5 Km away and can be reached on the frequent Dolmus minibuses.

Guestbook
"The holiday was great thank you and the apartment was lovely very clean and spacious. Panicked a little when the flight was delayed 4 hours but the driver was there with his placard with my name on! I would be quite confident in recommending the apartment to any of my friends and if there is any way to add feedback on the web site please let me know." Shelagh, Halifax.
"We all had a lovely time at Side Garden Residence. The apartments were great and the children loved the swimming pool, we visited many places and found the people great. The night time security guard on site was brilliant and we found him extremely helpful. The airconditioning and everything else was great and if in the future you rent it out and the people need feedback etc i will be happy to help. I am sure whoever stays at the Side Garden Residence will have a lovely holiday." Sue, Oswestry
"Thanks for a great holiday, the apartments/transfers were fantastic - It was like being at home, but slightly warmer ! The maintenance/security were also excellent - thanks Memhet !! Free bus service to the beach was very well used - great people - Imperator Bar. The washing machine was well used too! I have already passed on your website to a number of people, trouble is I'd like to keep it to ourselves!! " Tony & Janet
"We had an excellent holiday. This was our first time to Turkey but I am certain it will not be our last. The apartment was fine and met all our requirements and we would have no issues with returning. The other residents were very helpful and gave us plenty of advice and guidance. I would also like to say the transfer service from the airport was excellent. " Clive, Norwich.
