The ancient ruins on this tour are absolutely stunning 100% worth the time and effort to see them. The first stop was our favorite, and honestly, I’d recommend asking your guide for an extra 10 minutes there. You really don’t want to rush it. The Roman theatre is incredible unlike any other I’ve visited and the old city of Side is full of charm. Be sure to wander off the main streets; we discovered the old Roman baths tucked away between modern buildings, which was a real hidden gem. Lunch was decent, and the waterfall stop was a nice way to wrap up the day. Just a heads up: if you don’t prepay for entrance tickets, there are extra fees at each attraction. It came to 26 euros per person for us, which was worth it, but would’ve been nice to know in advance. All in all, an excellent and memorable day out!
