The following day, we began a cognitive adventure rather than our one-day “mattress” rest. We are going to the ancient city of Side today, located 30 kilometers west of our residence, and the first thing we will see is the largest and best-preserved Roman theater in Turkey which can hold more than 20 thousand spectators. Along with the various performances held here in the past, gladiator fights were once held here, and now archaeology is being conducted. The upper rows of the theater offer a view of the agora – the main shopping area of this ancient city, and on the horizon, you can see the Taurus Mountains. The entrance to the theater is paid, 45 lire from the nose. In addition to the ancient arched gate of Vespasian, the image depicts the monumental fountain and column avenue of the Nymphaeum and the central street of Side. Well, we go deep into the ancient city, the name of which is translated from the ancient Greek dialect as “Pomegranate”. 💡
Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye) is a bi-continental country: while geographically most of the country is located in Europe, most of its population and land area is established in Asia.
The Ottoman Empire was the final great Islamic empire, lasting from 1299 to 1922, and it was that empire which finally wrested control of Constantinople from Christendom.
Turkey gives a wealth of destination varieties to travelers: from dome-and-minaret filled horizon of Istanbul to Roman ruins along the western and southern beaches, from heavily indented coastline against a mountainous backdrop of Lycia and wide and sunny beaches of Pamphylia to cold and snowy mountains of the East, from crazy “foam parties” of Bodrum to Middle Eastern-flavored cities of Southeastern Anatolia, from verdant misty hills of Eastern Black Sea to wide steppe landscapes of Central Anatolia, there is something for everyone’s feeling—whether they be travelling on an extravagant budget by riding or by a multi-million boat.
