Most viewed - Side, 3/28/2006

Temple of Apollo - detail4 viewsThe Temple of Apollo featured a frieze with Medusa heads.

Jerry & Sandie at Side4 viewsHaving successfully evaded capture by janissaries or pirates, with the fabled Mediterranean Sea at our backs.

Atmosphere4 viewsSide seemed like a small town with a relaxed, good-natured ambience, notwithstanding the hordes of crazed barbarians from all over the world come to watch the eclipse.

Main Drag4 viewsWell-placed to ensnare tourists on their way to the beach.

Chuck Mattox in Side4 viewsFollowing in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, Mark Antony, Mustafa the Mad, et al.

Monument to Kemal Ataturk4 viewsThe father of modern Turkey. Doubtless rolling over in his grave at what his successors have done to his legacy.

Sandie at the Temple of Apollo4 viewsA modern-day Cleopatra lounges in the Mediterranean sunshine, awaiting the arrival of her Mark Antony.

The Waterfront at Side4 viewsIn Hellenistic and Roman times Side functioned both as a great commercial entrepot and a pirate base. The silting-up of its harbor beginning around the 6th century AD, coupled with incursions of Taurus Mountain highlanders and later Arab fleets, caused Side to yield its pre-eminence to Antalya.

Basilica3 viewsA notorious heathen shamelessly strolls by the remains of the 5th-century Christian basilica of Side.

Sam's Your Uncle3 viewsOne might get the impression that this establishment was catering to American tourists. We weren't much tempted to sample their cuisine, however; the chow at our hotel was beyond comparison.

Turkish Tattoo Parlor3 viewsEmporium of Body Art. Apparently the fashion for adorning one's body with bizarre designs has caught on just about everywhere.

Making the Most of It3 viewsSide was ideally located for the eclipse of 2006, and the locals rose to the occasion.
