Side: local notes for sinusitis (sinus infection)
Side combines sandy beaches with ancient ruins and the Temple of Apollo, so sun and walking on stone paths are typical. Pools, air conditioning and sudden temperature shifts can inflame congested sinuses. Use saline spray and keep drinking fluids.
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.
