Around the Apollo Temple in the old city are various bars serving a variety of cocktails

At the end of the pedestrian zone in Side, next to the harbour, you will see a lighthouse on a small peninsula. This is the "Lighthouse Disco", where in the season Turkish Popstars make live appearances.

Within walking distance of the apartment is Club OXYD, the largest open air disco on the Eastern Mediterranean coast with 8.500 sqm. Built in a Byzantian style, this disco has space for more than 3.000 dancers, with up to the minute audio and laser lights. If you get too hot dancing in Oxyd, simply take a dip in the disco's pool.

Another good disco is "Sammy" in the middle of Side-Kumköy. This starts to liven up around midnight and plays host to Turkish bands, sometimes even an internationally famous band such as the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Additionally, many of the beachfront restaurants have dancing after dinner.

During the last 2 weeks in September, Side hosts a festival of culture and art in the amphitheatre. This is extremely popular so if you want to go you should book your tickets in advance..

Side is a very popular destination for golfing holidays. Nearby Belek already has 5 top class golf courses. and new courses are planned in the Side area.
