What travellers are saying
- Chris CLondon, UK63 contributionsIf you are in Sidet, this is a must see, very well preserved, nice and clean area, lots of other areas of interest all around this area.Written 11 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Resha9 contributionsTruly breathtaking sight to go into the amphitheater. Well preserved! It was a surreal experience taking a moment to reflect on what it would have looked like in its glory days, fully packed with people. Must visit if you are in Side or the vicinity!Written 25 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- cosycarolLondon, UK2,034 contributionsSide Museum is worth seeing and good value for money.
Everything seems clearly catalogued. Part of the baths (hamam) have been utilised to display statues and it is very well presented. Most of the display is outdoors in the gardens. The small niche in the outdoor garden to sit gazing at the ocean is a welcome break on hot days! I was only disappointed that the Atelier section was closed off when I visited in June, as I would have liked to see some of the gold coins.
Most fascinating part of the collection for me was the display of petite iron-cast and glass oil Lamps (kandiller). I enjoy those little functional ornaments.Written 5 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark_DornochDornoch, UK1,502 contributionsBridge rebuilt the 2nd time in 1998 with nice limestone slabs. Original bridge built in Roman times and some of it is still visible.

- Flipperty GibbertCarlisle, UK91 contributionsA lot of the pictures of Devlet Agorasi on trip advisor reviews are of other sites in Side, so it may be advisable to check info if you want specifics.
It is located near to the beach (after either turning left from the ampitheatre or meandering through the ruins and paved walkways of the ancient city (Anitk Kenti)).

These are NOT official and I found one man in particular wanted to be closer than I was comfortable with so decided to leave, at which point he held out his hand for money and expected us to pay him 10 lira.Written 8 November 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Poppy B1 contributionIf you're looking for an incredible spa and hammam experience, this is where you need to be. I have been to Q-Spa a couple of times now and both times have had the most incredible experiences!
All of the staff are absolutely incredible, so kind and attentive, and the experience as a whole is luxurious. The ladies who provide the Turkish bath and massages are so experienced, professional and so lovely, and give some of the best massages I've ever had.
The venue is gorgeous, and we were even treated to a lovely fruit plate and Turkish tea which we enjoyed outside in the garden.
I couldn't recommend this place enough if you want a 5 star spa experience while also getting all the true essence of a traditional Turkish hammam. I will be going back as many times as possible!Written 20 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The instructor was super great and patient, the whole team is professional and clearly they know what they are doing... thank you so much.

- ShahLawLondon, UK286 contributionsWe stayed at the nearby Acanthus hotel which is a five minute walk away from Delphin. It's modest but with great staff and easy to book (we used Facebook messenger with a prompt reply). We had such good massages that we went back for another before we returned home. Excellent massages and great value. Much better than what the hotel spa could offer. Highly recommended.Written 11 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
