Most viewed - Side, 3/28/2006

Sandie at the Temple of Apollo306 viewsA modern-day Cleopatra lounges in the Mediterranean sunshine, awaiting the arrival of her Mark Antony.

Sinbad at Side301 viewsAfter completing his seventh voyage, Sinbad the Sailor took up residency on the Turquoise Coast and started a business taking tourists on excursions along the shores of the Mediterranean.

Turkish Tattoo Parlor288 viewsEmporium of Body Art. Apparently the fashion for adorning one's body with bizarre designs has caught on just about everywhere.

The Marina Restaurant and Bar285 viewsWine and dine amidst the ruins.

Elouise Mattox at the Temple of Athena285 viewsAthena was the Greek goddess of wisdom. Here a modern-day Athena surveys the ruins of her predecessor's Temple.

Sam's Your Uncle282 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.

Basilica274 viewsA notorious heathen shamelessly strolls by the remains of the 5th-century Christian basilica of Side.

Main Drag272 viewsWell-placed to ensnare tourists on their way to the beach.

The Amphitheater at Side266 viewsThe Side Amphitheater was ground zero for viewing the spectacle on eclipse day. I shudder to think of how packed the place must have been, and I think our location on the beach at the Kaya Side Hotel must have been much less crowded and more relaxed.

Chuck Mattox in Side261 viewsFollowing in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, Mark Antony, Mustafa the Mad, et al.

The Waterfront at Side251 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.

Side Agora250 viewsBeyond the collapsed walls of the theater, the remains of the ancient Agora are visible. The Side Agora was a marketplace where pirates sold captives as slaves. (Where do you think all those slaves in the ancient world came from?)
