Side’s sunsets are legendary — fiery skies blending with the calm Mediterranean Sea. But where are the best places to experience that golden moment with someone special? Here are five unforgettable spots.
Start at the Temple of Apollo, where the sun sets directly behind the ancient columns, creating one of Turkey’s most photographed views. Next, walk along the Side Old Harbor, and grab a table at one of the seafront restaurants — romantic music, candlelight, and the gentle sound of waves set the mood perfectly.
Another must-see is Kızılot Beach, known for its long, untouched sands and peaceful atmosphere. Titreyengöl Lake Pier offers a mirrored sunset on the water — ideal for couples who love photography. Finally, for a private experience, drive to Sorgun Forest’s cliff area, where the sunset paints the pine trees in golden tones.
