Cystitis in Side: what to know locally
Side combines sandy beaches with ancient ruins and the Temple of Apollo, so sun and walking on stone paths are typical. Hours in a wet swimsuit and too little water in the heat frequently set off cystitis. Drink more, change out of wet swimwear and ask us early.
Travel guide to Side
Side began as an ancient Greek city on a small peninsula, and after it was abandoned the ruins became known as Eski Adalia, meaning Old Antalya. Tourist tip: walk to the Temple of Apollo at sunset, visit the theatre and the museum, and browse the craft and souvenir shops of the old town. Side is also a handy base for Aspendos and Perge, and its sandy beaches suit swimming and boat trips.
