With its cobbled winding streets and pretty harbour, the Old Town of Side is delightful. The ancient site is perfect for leisurely exploration with its Temples of Apollo and Athena, and the remains of the Roman Baths that house an impressive collection of artefacts.
From the Old Town of Side, it is a short walk along the seafront promenade to the 5-star Raga Side Hotel, which, with just under 200 deluxe bedrooms, lends to a lovely group ambience for our bridge guests to meet up. You can relax on the private beach or on the terraces around the outdoor pool. Swim in the indoor pool, take a Turkish Hamam or steam bath, or treat yourself to a massage or treatment in the Spa (charge).
The hotel prides itself on its exceptional cuisine. There is an excellent choice of a la carte dishes available so you can enjoy freshly cooked food direct to your table. During the day snacks or light lunches are available from the poolside bar or beach café and you can enjoy delicacies from the Patisserie. All this is included in your 24-hour ultra-all-inclusive package along with cocktails and drinks, served on the terraces and in the hotel’s bars.
You can expect the weather to be generally very good in November on the south coast of Turkey, our previous group enjoyed endless sunny days and temperatures mainly over 30 degrees!
Included in our package is a half day excursion to Antalya, the eastern gateway to the Turquoise Coast. We enjoy a guided walking tour of this beautiful old town, as well as visiting the Duden Waterfall and enjoying a boat trip around the harbour and visit to the leather centre.
The Raga Side is all about quality dining. The elegant restaurants offer delicious A la carte meals served to the table and freshly cooked from its menu selection. There are also two additional a la carte restaurants focusing on International cuisine and Fish dishes. The patisserie offers delicacies between 11.00 - 16.00, and you can enjoy imported drinks and cocktails at the Lobby Bar until 02.00 am or in the poolside bar until midnight. In fact, you can watch competitions on TV all night long until in the Sports Bar!
